I have cycled once in high winds, was nearly sucked under a lorry then blown into a ditch. Never again, I did 54 miles this morning from the comfort of my conservatory whilst it was minus 1 outside. Was quite cool even in the conservatory for the first 20 mins, toasty after that 🙂

Shrewsbury. It was vicious, a couple of gusts nearly had me across the road. I resorted to the pavement in a couple of places as I couldn’t ride in a straight line.  The local Met Office station at Shawbury recorded gusts of ~60 mph.

Went out on Sunday pm, and was expecting grief from fierce cross winds, but it was fine. Didn’t even notice it heading into the wind. May try tomorrow, should blow me home.

Riding home from work at 6pm tonight was one of the scariest experiences I’ve ever had on a bike.

NOT recommended.

I’m going to wait until this afternoon when it dies down a bit and do a short spin locally – been eating to many cakes this week so have to do something!

In Surrey they were forecasting stong winds this morning, but that seems to have changed to coastal areas now.
