|  Ever been blown off the road?
I was wondering if anyone had ever been blown off the road or caused to crash by the wind? Today was brutal, we had cross winds between 40-50 mph. At times it felt like a midget was on my back trying to wrestle me off the bike. To add to that there were a few quick and powerful gusts that literally blew me from one side of the lane to the other. One thing that surprised me was that the bike seemed to swing away from under me, rather than me being pushed over. I guess it has the broader profile. |
