Some value to that for sure. I'll do the same some days when I'm planning on taking out the Y-Foil and then realize the winds are really bad.

Of course this is more extreme that most carbon bikes I guess. LOL!


I actually got caught up top on the mountain by a front coming in this day. Sure made for one interesting decent on a road I can normally hit the low to mid 50 mph range on pretty easily. Not this day, the side gusts had me puckering, LOL!
