after tonight's ride, that is where I wanna go for a (road) bike vacation...actually, I only travel for dirt. But you know what I mean.
Least windy place in ' Merica?
- Thread starter rideit
- Start date
I have thought about this every time I ride in the wind on the road bike. The solution I have arrived at is to ride early in the day and stick to dirt when the wind is up. 
Well, I guess it counts for resistance training.
Central Valley CA had very little wind. But the other negatives far, far, out weigh that one positive aspect.
I think shuttling road bike rides is the answer here. Just keep the wind at your back, then call your ride when it runs out or shifts. You may be in Kansas by then, but...
I was wondering on my ride yesterday "Who the hell needs hills?" when I had to pedal 30 fucking miles straight into a 20-30 mph headwind. 
It was all I could do to keep moving at 14 mph.

Caves have very little wind.
My dad was part of the team in the 1970's that did a huge amount of the mapping of the cave. Listening to some of his stories always amazes me that he survived.
Yes. My favorite story is from trips to mexico. They got stuck by water from going out any farther, but could see an air bell about 30ft out. Their plan to continue was to tether somebody and have them swim to the bell to set a line to traverse via. They pulled straws and this guy, Mark (who I'm named after), made the swim. Took a huge breath of air and it was methane; he passed out immediately. When the rope lost tension, they dragged him back and resuscitated him, then going a different way. People say some of the shit I've done is insane, but that's next level shit.
there is a caver/spelunker who posts on the photography on the net forum and i always wonder when i haven't seen a post from him in awhile is if it is because he is trapped under the earth somewhere and hasn't been found yet....
i've got a buddy from my days as a bike wrench who is a big cave diver now
That's a suicide wish.
