Almost late for work
I ride back and fourth between work and home quite regularly. On paper, the way out should be easiest with only 97m elevation compared to the way home being 108m elevation. So why did the way out feel so hard?? On the way there I had 89% headwind!!! This gave me a feels like elevation … Continue reading “Almost late for work”
Apology for Segment Windsock Issue
We’re sorry if you have been incorrectly notified of optimum Strava Segment conditions, by one or more of our Windsocks. Unfortunately we temporarily lost comms with Windsocks and they were left excitedly blowing away in the wind. Order has been restored and the Windsocks are now functioning correctly.

Ben: My 4th hottest ride
My 4th hottest ride on myWindsock Weather Trends was in preparation for the then upcoming national 12 hour championship. I was out in the heat for 4hr 15min, covering a bit over 161km (100 miles).

More Segment Windsocks
I love a good KOM hunt and I’ve been maxing out the 5 Segment Windsock limit recently, this is very frustrating. At our new location in Cumbria, there are so many amazing hills around to attack! The five Windsocks that we offer on Premium just isn’t enough. So the 5 Windsock limit had to go! Upgrade to myWindsock Premium to … Continue reading “More Segment Windsocks”

Ben: My longest headwind this year.
I feel a bit guilty at nabbing this one from my Weather Trends, as I am sure this is also Caroline’s longest headwind too. I asked Caroline if she had a bike and would she like to come for a bike ride. We’d done a lot of walking at this point so it seemed like … Continue reading “Ben: My longest headwind this year.”
View all the weather for your week’s riding
I created the myWindsock Planner so I can view all the cycling weather I can expect for the week ahead. I really like seeing what I can expect well before I ride.

Criterium Aero Analysis – Analysing a mass start race
I took part in my first bunch race last Saturday. It has been a great opportunity for me to understand the applications of myWindsock.com for planning and analysing mass start races. One especially cool thing from racing on a circuit is that I am collecting loads of aero data. Each time I cross the same … Continue reading “Criterium Aero Analysis – Analysing a mass start race”
