One of the guys who rides with the LBS group made a great GoPro video a few years ago where they were riding in 35MPH winds. He was able to overlay the data from his bike computer onto the video and it showed him hitting 42MPH on a flat road with the wind at his back. But riding against the current wind (30MPH with gusts to 45) is not my thing. Now that I have a pedal assist bike, I'll fight 20MPH winds for a bit, but that's pretty much my limit.
