For me, windy days are training days. I race gravel, and I'm not the fair-weather racer ... so if it's windy on race day, I race! I'm all about training in all conditions so I'm prepared for racing.

It's been said in this thread, before I started racing, I was a daily bike-commuter. This got me started with the mindset to ride in all conditions ... and learn what I need to be successful in the conditions on the day.

Now if your not a daily commuter or a racer, feel free to stay off the bike on windy days. Frau Toad is that rider too, she will skip riding windy days and I totally get it!

Not exactly on topic, but I will not race on 90F plus days (note this is 90F AND high humidity, MN doesn't do dry heat). No matter how much training I do, my body can't handle endurance races in the heat. So I do have limits, just not the wind.
