Wind?:
So, you're JRA, and suddenly, a relentless head wind slams you, stealing
your speed and sapping your energy. You take a 45 deg. bend to the left, and the wind is still pointedly a relentless head wind. You take a chicane, still a headwind all the way around. You take a long sweeping right that all but doubles back on itself, and, still a bloody headwind. Ad infinitum et nausium (whathehellever blah blah blah...). So, wise folks, laymen and meteorologists, HOW TF _IS_ that possible?!?!?!?!? Huh?!?!?!? Shaun aRe 'baffled'. |

Channeling due to local topography or man-made structures is probably your greatest foe. If you're riding in a hilly area, anabatic / katabatic influences may also exist. -- a.m-b FAQ: http://www.j-harris.net/bike/ambfaq.htm a.bmx FAQ: http://www.t-online.de/~jharris/bmx_faq.htm |

Yes thanks. And you? Local climatology at ground level can be greatly influenced by many factors. Yes, no news there dude! Channeling due to local topography or man-made structures is probably your greatest foe. Or here, either... If you're riding in a hilly area, anabatic / katabatic influences may also exist. I'm riding, at this point, right across the top of a big, high-ish open hill, with only low walls nearby. I can literally turn a right angle and not have the previous headwind, wind hit me sideways on! Madness it is...I tells ya, madness... Shaun aRe - it's got it in for me this wind, it has! |
