Wind

How windy is too windy? I’m still trying to get into some kind of training and this time of year can get gusty. When do y’all just call it off?
This Friday wind will be 25-35mph here in N Texas.

I ordered the Helix. They were on sale for $80.00. Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon Helix was originally $170.00 so they should be a step up from my basic Black Bibs.

I won’t mind buying higher priced bibs after I finish losing weight so I stay at a size. I don’t want to spend $150.00 and them not fit by summer.

Bib differences

I was looking for a second pair of bibs and noticed a big variation in prices even from the same company. Some are $80 and some $160 and higher.
Why? What are the differences?
