Cross wind riding down hill ?

Palm Springs CA area
Road up Thousand palms canyon road to Dillon, was windy
but not bad.
Got up top, the wind picked up , turned to head back ...Wooa, guess over 30 mph
Heading West was work, going down hill. Had th turn left on 1000 palm cnyn rd.
Now a strong crosswind, buffeted me a couple time toward the middle of the So bound lane.
I slowed to near 15 mph , fought all the way down, riding more into the lane than normal,
Few times I backed up traffic but none of the driver seemed to get upset
Couple gust moved me left pretty good.

Got to R turn , now strong down hill head wind, was work all the way.

Anyone else get into something similar?



Any tips for riding in strong cross winds pushing you left ?
