We had a 25 mph headwind all the way out with 35 mph gusts.I wouold be riding along working pretty hard at 12.5 mph and as the gusts hit I would be instantly at 11 mph. Normally this would be somewhat compensated for by a tailwind on the way back but I guess it was more a cross wind as we turned back.
Congratulations! 12.5 mph into a 25 mph headwind takes quite a bit of power, something close to 400 Watts. I'm very amazed a guy your age can do that!
23 miles and average speed of only 8.18 miles per hour average ...
Ah. 8.18 mph sounds much more believable. That might be around 200 Watts.
