    Keep an eye out for Bhima doing 50+ into the headwind.

    Nothing much round here since Tuesday. It seems that it some areas if someone has a beer too many, the media gets excited about the wind. :D

    Hope it's not too strong today, got to go down A6 to uni and I think it's a headwind.

    I used to suffer from the same issue after I'd been to Beer Fests !!

    It was tricky on the roads down here too, I was blown all over the M4 ! I did try to tell her that it's not safe, but she was insistant :wink:

    Seriously not looking forward to the journey home - Long fast descent on open ground with fierce crosswinds. :shock:

    The wind completely destroyed my garden fence so I felt it best to leave the bike in the garage for the last couple of days!
