Too windy!

This pic may be a slight exaggeration. Actually, it was just overcast in San Diego this morning so I headed to REI to finish accessorizing!
I bought a pair of Ortlieb back roller classic panniers that fit nicely on an Ibera rear rack I bought. Decided to splurge on good bags that will last. Bombproof, waterproof and a 5-year guarantee. Also bought a Topeak floor pump. I threw it in one of the bags and off I went back home! 2019 Radrover, btw.

I couldn't ride my regular bike in NM because of headwinds 20-25 mph and gusts +35 mph in the spring time. I now just crank up the power from 375w to 550w on my radrover and power through like a boss. Always a headwind, I never seem to get a 20 mph tailwind in the morning or evening? Zero problems with +20 mph crosswinds. I occasionally get bumped over 2-3 feet with crosswind gust because of the fat tires.
