Hey all,
Can someone tell me some wind speeds from saturday 4/2? I was out riding most of the day and a few times I knew it was blowing pretty strong but being on the lake and moving it was impossible to try and gauge the wind speeds.

... too fast for you

... too much wind if you flew on handles

... too slow for a PR account

miss ya bro

ATB,

my wind meter was measuring about 15-20 with gust up to 25mph. It was bouncing like crazy between 15 and 20 .. totally different from the wind I'm used to on the Texas coast.

those gusts made for some epic riding on the 15m, that was a good day. unfortunatly my tires are bald

tee hee... you guys should come fly in colorado.... We thought that was choice conditions!

all good on SAT.

friday late afternoon was good as well, felt about the same maybe a little less

We have a high wind warning today and tomorrow. Winds averaging 25-35 with gusts up in the 60 mph range.

those readings sound about right, gusts around 25mph. I hit 55mph that day on a 3m jojo and no matter how hard I tried to push it I could not get faster so I must have been catching those gusts.

Damn, I missed it, DAKITEZ had his skirt off and rode most of the day, DOOAAHH!!!
