• A fun side project proposal: app that notifies you when wind conditions are right to crush your PRs and KOMs

  Mywindsock.com - once you get over the idea that it's about old men uploading photos of their reusable condoms, it's a useful site for planning rides, although a lot of the low level wind detail is estimated, i.e. In a 1 mile section through buildings or trees it's not going to pick up on all of the gusts and changes in wind direction you encounter in realtime.

• Any tips for understanding which way the wind is blowing?

  Create route using any of the numerous websites that allow you to download it as a GPX file at the end. I usually use RideWithGPS. Upload the route you've created (or sync your strava if you've cycled it before) and then load it into MyWindSoc. Enter the time/date you plan to leave and it'll tell you exactly what way the wind is going. Source: over 5 years ago
