Wind on the day

[oGaryo]

Thought you guys and lady may find this interesting, no wonder it was hard going, high force 5's bordering on force 6 on the 6th according to Bramblment http://www.bramblemet.co.uk/archive/2015/June/HTML/Bra06Jun2015.html

Also noted that the wind turned to a northerly on the Sunday, doh !

Cycling the last couple of legs with Elessar we came up with a few new names for that **??!!** headwind.

F6 wind against tide when we crossed the Solent at 3 pm, don't know why my crew were a tad grizzly about getting mildly moist.
The only way was to get on top of the waves

I didn't really find the headwind too much of a chore, possibly due to most of my training rides being into the wind. I did find the rolling hills on the third leg quite a chore, but my bottom gear seemed significantly higher than most. I will look at either a smaller chain wheel, or different cassette for the next ride.
