It's been quite a windy afternoon today here in Wales and was wondering if anybody has brave (or mad) enough to venture out on there bikes. I certainly didn't, but I surprised to see that many had did. There was 2 guys hurtling down the road like greased lighting this afternoon with the wind behind them, and saw some embattled soul struggling against the Gale forced winds on the granny gear. I personally thought it was a tad to dangerous to enjoy a bike ride, but i suppose its a question of each to their own.

Yes I cycled two and from the tube station to go to work. It was lovely this morning, this evening it was hard work into the headwind ! Don't think we have gale force winds here but certainly breezy!

A bit gusty in Nottingham, but nothing too bad in a built up area.

I’ve been off work today and have done 3 short utility rides on the Brompton without issue.

Rode in to work and back today as normal .

Missed the strongest winds which went through here in the early afternoon. Still did the comedy puffing and blowing pedalling downhill routine until I turned away from the wind and flew the rest of the way home.

We had an enormous dark red sun about 11 am.Never seen one quite like that in the middle of the day before, quite spooky especially as we had a yellow sky earlier.

There appear to be 6 or 7 of you who ventured out today. Out of interest, how many if you were out solely to “KOM Chase”?

Just want to put that one to bed. :smile:
