it's always windy here too, ive grown used to it but just two weeks ago, the wind was coming sideways gust of about 25 mph, for the first time it almost knocked me over. I have a TT felt with 343 zipps, that didnt help into making my bike feel act like a sail either.
Unless the wind is sideways, ill ride in just about anything. I have to or id never ride down here if I wait for the calm.
