Do any of you ride in gusts to 45? Just wondering.
My cap is 50mph as that’s when tree branches start flying. My bibs and jackets are wind proof, insulative, and rain resistant, but not tree resistant.
I do enjoy the fast headwinds when I leave early enough to get through them to work on time. Likewise with wet snow up to six inches deep or powder up to nine inches, or straight ice under my slushcutter slicks- it’s a fun challenge.
