Back safe and sound, at least it was a round trip, and the wind stayed out of the south. So I wore the right sides of my tires on the way there, and the left edge on the way home! Good news is I probably saved some miles on the center! ROTFLMAO.....

Mostly I can deal with the wind but shifting side winds that's what beat the crap out of any one. IMO use lower gear and keep RPM 3000 or above consistently makes little easier to deal with the wind . As long as rear wheel has tremendous amount of power going to it bike will go upright and straight.
