The ride home can be brutal on a normal day I can only imagine (or remember per se) how bad Tuesday must have been. The only winds that I recall that were worse were earlier this year on April 14. That was ridiculously windy, worst I've ever seen up here. Super fun riding though
I've been riding against it long enough though that I'm pretty used to it. If anything I think of it as a training tool. At least there are brief periods of tail wind like moving along the San Thomas Aqueduct trail or along Bowers. I'm gonna be pretty upset if they make me pay for a new fork and I sure as hell won't buy another Cannondale. That's not cool, my luck is too poor to have to pay for another frame every time it breaks.
