One heck of a wind today. Hard and strong and still gusty. The wind was from the west and i was heading north into the city. I literally had to lean into the wind at points. When i hit the city i had to travel east so this brutal strong cross wind turned into a brutal strong tail wind I was literally flying down this single lane road doing 50-55kph. this was a construction zone for pretty much the entire length which means, i was actually speeding (50kph limit). Well guess what, every single cager still passed me, i think they calibrate their speed based on the cyclist. ie they have to be ahead of the cyclist regardless of speed/road conditions.
