Welcome to my training ride route parallel and next to runway 2 of Souvarnabhumi airport in Bangkok. Obviously, the airport runway was designed with the prevailing winds and is completely flat. The loop is 10 miles, five miles of strong head winds to practice being in the drops and the other five to fly with the wind. The speed difference between the in bound and outbound is usually 15 kmh or about 10 mph.

Today, it was especially windy - I rode at 18 kmh, 95 rpm, 200 watts, 165 bpm ave into the wind while being in the drops and 45 kmh, 95 rpm, 110 watts, 120 bpm ave with the wind, on the hoods, as my resting ride!
