Did Hit the North VI in Philips Park, Manchester, can't say I noticed the wind, perhaps it was the protection the mud gave me.

Rode in the Clwyds headwind first half tail wind on way back. Felt like a very long 13 miles! Lashed it down just as we got sat in the van with a brew. Winner!

Managed to get out and do 15miles up over the garth mountain, through the woods down through gwaelod and back home along the taff trail. I was going to do a loop of castle coch too but the wind was giving me a pasting, headwind all the way home!

Rode Surrey Hills on Saturday morning. Gusts of 50+ mph were forecast, but on the sheltered and wooded hillsides it wasn't that noticeable.

Managed to persuade Jr off his Xbox for a quick go round QE Park and the car park was very windy..! Not a breath of it on the trails in the trees though.
My god it did us good, getting out.

Cycled Bristol to Bath & back on Saturday. No wind or rain.
Lovely ride actually. None of the 45mph+ winds forecast.

Thanks @paladin I tried bearing right shortly before the fallen trees, but obviously took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up hiking through a steep dense forest. There was another option to bear right before the trees then bear left, which brought me to a steep grassy bank that would be fun if it hadn’t been so slippery. Is that the way I should have gone?

new deviation is just before where the old descent dropped down the north side of the hill to the fireroad, so if you come to the fallen trees youve gone about 50m too far down the trail, it just cuts around the west side of the fallen trees. Alternatively, you can continue east past the fallen trees, and drop down behind the shooting range

Ah, right, I missed that option altogether then. I'll look out for it next time. Thanks.

Yesterday morning was the first time we'd had a blast out in just over a week. Relief doesn't begin to cover it!

For me the issue wasn't wind but soggy soggy snow... still fun though.
