We're having our annual Santa Ana winds here in Southern California, and in
the town I'm in today (Rialto, 1 hr east of LA) the wind is gusting up to 60
MPH. I'm not a great estimator of wind speed, but I think it's easily
blowing steady at 30-40 MPH and the 60 MPH gusts are coming frequently... I
mean, this *crazy* wind...
Just for a challenge, I got on my bike on a very quiet residential street to
see if I could handle this... biking north (straight into the wind) feels
like trying to ascend a 20 percent grade. Biking east or west is a balance
challenge, needless to say... and biking south makes you feel superhuman...
