Moe,

It's hard to tell. You know it's gonna be windy, but you are already going near 80, so I don't think it was too much windier. The props on the wind turbines weren't turning too much. Brings up another topic, Wind Induced Brain Rattle: When you are hammering down the freeway, the wind drifts up around the helmet and sets up a sort of vibration of your skull that I think makes me a little extra stupid after a few hours.

I felt a bit of a side wind going up 62 into JTNP. After dealing with 40+ miles an hour gusts on the GZ (you know I live in the Santa Ana Canyon wind tunnel) wind is a lot less anxiety inducing on The Beast. I guess from the bicycle experience I've learned to automatically countersteer into the wind.

I've had some interesting wind encounters where the 55 meets the 5 in Tustin, esp on the GZ. Partly scary because of the wind pressure, party scary because of all the crap flying around.
