    Not too windy on top of Wansfell today; the race route descent is going to be a slippery mess once the first dozen or so are through.

    One reason I am selling my house is because of the wind. i live on the coast - in Whitehaven - in an area called Kells. My local run is regularly ruined by the strong winds in this area.
    The other reason? Whitehaven town is a shithole.

    You could sell it to the Americans; after all, they did invade Whitehaven in 1778.

    Back to the subject of the original post, I only find that wind is a problem when I am cycling to my destination for a particular time, and the wind is in a hurry to go the other way. If I am just out for a leisure ride, I just think of wind as providing some "resistance training".

    Spot on, Anthony.
    I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!

    Was windy yesterday.

    Steak pie, gravy, mushy peas and baked beans didn't help.

    The wind made for loads of "touch" penalies at a premier league Canoe Slalom even at Tees Barage on Saturday. Difficult course, and very difficult judging, with poles swinging all over the place.
