Did one of my usual training rides yesterday. A 45km ride to the base of the local ski mountains. Over the top. refuel at the town on the otherside. Back over the top, and home.
Except that is for the fact that a previous puncture I havent been arsed to fix meant taking the fancey crabon wheels. The 88/60 mm combo together with 15 m/s mountain winds was horrendous.
Did 20mins of over/unders on the way up. Emptied myself. Then had to fight across the top. Pushing 36:25 on a couple percent of climb. Barely moving.
Seemed to have gusting sidwinds on both descents. Nearly being blown off the road at 60kph on several occasions (its normally a 80kph descent).
