Tried riding her to my Oncology followup Labs/CT yesterday morning (35 miles each way) leaving home at 6:15am.
Temp was about 33*F out, but my gloves and jacket and jeans/rainliner/riding pants felt cold, but ok.
After about 15-20 miles I said "screw it" and turned around heading back home to grab the car again...
The winds were blowing the whole way at about 25-35 mph and I saw on my phone that gusts were up to 42mph... I was leaning way over trying to go straight but the winds would still blow me into the opposing lanes. Didnt feel safe and didnt want to risk anything.
Didnt realize it was that bad until I got out of town thanks to the trees and homes blocking a good amount of wind, but the country roads I have to take got pretty scarey!!!
