The wind is really stopping play for me at the moment and I feel like maybe I'm just being a pansy about it its was 35-40 mph at the weekend, but last night and today down to about 25mph... Its not the wind itself that bothers me, I've always ridden Jess up to and including in gale force, it doesn't bother Jess at all, she was backed on a wind farm after all
But last winter a branch (4" diameter type branch) came down in the forest and it missed Jess' bum by less than a foot (it clipped her heel), which made me wary. Once in the forest the wind is always less, but around the edges, on our in/out points, is where I see downed trees and branches after every blowy day. Other than the forest we have a 20 minute 'round the block' in the housing estate where I live or you have to tackle the busy high street to get out to farm land and lanes, not good to do during rush hour as traffic is often nose to tail.
Do I need a cyber kick in the ass?
