Did this on Saturday. I got dropped in a crosswind but I said to myself "F this. They can't drop me. I've worked too hard this spring." So I put my head down and turned some pedals. Lucky for me the road turned into the wind and there was a little rise so the field all kind of sat up and I was able to claw my way back on.
