As others have said, you'll get used to it. Experience and muscle memory will kick in and you'll have added another useful skill to your commuter skill set. Strong head and cross winds are par for the course here in the Bay Area, so I don't even think anything of them much any more.
I did fine, I just never rode in conditions like this...So I was a little nervous. It was a good experience, now I know I can manage the strong winds. Like you said adds to my skill set!
I was trying to catch a tail wind...but all cross today. People were looking at me like I was crazy! Then again I am a little bit!

That is too funny....I Know that guy!!! He was real good at one time then he just went nuts! Holy Crap. You know Dave Chapman too? He is fun to see play! Great player! 8 time world champ.
Just asking...Where do you know Jimmy from? I know he tours..but just messes with people.
