I was aware it was a little windy today but found that once I was out in the peaks it was blowing me around on my bike. I think this affects me badly as a beginner as I am not very confident, however I found it was 20 times worse controlling my bike going down hill, I am not sure if I am making the handling of my bike more difficult by breaking so much when going down hill.
I have been told several times 'oh you can always tell a novice they break downhill!', which is true but am not sure how to take the plunge and stop this for fear that I will be less able to control the bike. I was blown into the middle of the road today when I did let go of the breaks, fortunately there was no car passing.
