Did you have it with you or against you today?

I had it full on, all the way in on my 7 mile trip today, felt like I was going backwards at times!

Just hope its not changing direction for the return 😉

Last night it was a bit all over the place, one long draggy climb was a bugger but otherwise the 20 miles went pretty easily.

Riding again tomorrow, expecting it to be a bit grim 🙂

Yesterday it was head wind to work, then head wind home.
Side wind this morning, hopefully no blustery tail wind (crosses fingers).

Full-on headwind this morning. Probably added 5mins for me too.
Knackered me as I was on my ss and couldn't change down. (Obviously!)

Mostly side winds and a bit of a headwind. Seems to be a north west wind at the moment and I travel north east to work so south west home, so should have a good tailwind for some of the journey. A tailwind home is very unusual so I'm looking forward to it - I travel sw towards the sea across a moor so the wind comes right off the sea and there are no hiding places. But I'm just hoping it doesn't change direction for the return trip.

Headwind all the way - an extra 5-10 mins on the commute. Going home should be fun though (fingers crossed the wind stays the same).

It's days like today when I'm thankful I've only got a 40t chainring on the singlespeed.

Been doing well with the cycling in lately, but drove today since I might be ferrying people around tonight. Where's my Big Dummy when I need it 🙂

Either with me or across me this morning.

Full in my face last night for 20 mile after my detour across the bridge to reclaim some property. It'd ****ing destroyed me by the time I got home.

Cheated by taking the car and resting my legs.

mainly side wind - some wobbly moments going past gaps in hedges!

Pretty much either straight into it or a dangerous sidewind all the way to the station this morning. Took longer than usual and arrived more knackered too.

I had the same yesterday, was looking forward to the 15 miles home with a tailwind until I snapped the chain 2 minutes into the ride and had to call home to be collected. Had a very chilly 30 minute wait.

Headwind all the way in from the coast, chances are it'll turned by the time I'm heading home too 🙁

Headwind all the way in from the coast, chances are it'll have turned round by the time I'm heading home too 🙁
