I rode against 50mph gusts yesterday, in traffic, and was safe. Some cross winds, some headwinds, a little tailwind. Lean into the strong cross winds, gear down and tuck in for the head winds.
Rain pelted me so hard it stung, and the huge winds dried me off before I got home. This am saw a few 3 and 4 ft diameter trees blown over, one broken at the trunk. Gusts weren't too bad though.
