Winds
Winds of 20-30 mph are predicted for this afternoon/evening. Sounds like a good day to dig out the lowracer! After all, having a draft is a sign of inefficiency.

Winds were lower than predicted, maybe 15-20 mph. But I barely noticed while the uprights made remarks about how "windy" it was. Sometimes lower is better.

Agree 100 percent that the winds are easier to deal with on my bents than on my upright bikes.
