Share the stoke, find out where people are going, ask any question, share your discoveries, and discuss any esoteric idea you may have related to the pursuit of wind. Please keep it positive.
No...........not your age, but the combined air temp. + wind speed in mph.
Someone recently asked about the 70 factor number. My reply was the decision factor of some people of whether to ride in the current conditions or not. I personally subtract 10 if the humidity is high, such as drizzle/rain is present or add 10 if the sun is shining. Another decision factor to to dress for the swim in. Can you survive an hour of drifting in the water after losing gear or breakdown If your in relatively good shape and wearing the right gear....yes. Use common sense when you ride in extreme conditions. Crap happens. Have a nice ride.

70 minus 46 here in MPLS = the current wind speed. Aha. Are you going out today Jerry if yes, where? It doesn't seem windy round here. Just Duluth. Am I wrong? - The Mighty Quinn
I think the coastguard uses a similar rule air+water temp=100. If they equal less than 100, then "gumby suites" are required..... the sum might even be higher than 100, not sure..
