Schoolboy error yesterday, did a loop with the homeward leg along the beach into a brutal headwind. Should have gone the other way round.

Had exactly the same yesterday riding with wife Angie. Doing our favourite 20 mile Venus Woods loop had toasties at the Cadence Café in Cocking on the South Downs Way.

While sitting there didn't notice that a South Westerly* had picked up and had to use a lot of assistance just to fight the wind getting home.

* that's wind coming from the SW btw ;)

Toasties I hope the wife paid. Your poking the dragon again mentioning wind direction.

I do love that you're able to go riding with the wife and still have time for a bit of Cocking.

Headwinds don't exist on Ebikes, I always tell my wife that anyway.
If you're out in the open, it's surprising the difference a headwind makes !

Rode to and from Badminton last night. 30+kph wind.

To Badminton - into wind.

From Badminton - wind behind (stopped recording some of the ride through the garden on the way back hence the tiny differences in range/altitude)

Huge difference in speeds/time taken and calories.

Oh yeah .. it's pic of the day .. the dog was down wind (similar speeds) the day before and picked up overspray ...
