    Bah, I don't like that site. Tomorrow it's predicting a headwind on the way in, turning into a headwind on the way home!

    Well.... I'm tempted. 50mph gusts on the way in and down to 14 on the way home (and swinging in from the North)

    Somewhat disappointing, certainly wasn't blown to work! Expect it'll be a full on head wind home!

    PB's, 2nds and 3rds on a lot of segments this morning, could have been quicker though. Clearly a strong tailwind but gust seemed to come from all direction meaning no super fast....

    You need an Alpkit Gourdon :wink:

    It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be this morning.

    Wet and windy, but not too sustained, as headwinds go. Plus it was quite mild.

    The wind is sometimes good. Got to Cromarty at an average of 25.2mph over 16 miles. The 18 miles back was nearer 15mph mind you but can't have been too far off a 20mph average. Wind at 22mph. It does, at least, make even the steepest hills seem quite easy provided you are out of the wind.

    Totally still here today, did 35 hilly miles in shorts and jersey wearing fingerless gloves, sat in the sun outside the pub halfway watching the local hilly TT riders
