It's more of an issue with carbon wheels as they just act like sails, sailing you right in to the ditch

I just want to get back riding again as soon as possible but my only spare bike is a hybrid

GAINS y0! I don't mind the wind if it's constant, its the gusty nature of the recent stuff that is so frustrating.
I think it depends on the wheel. Oddly find my DAc24s more of a handful in crosswinds that 60mm deep sections.
You're right - but I should probably factor in a proper rest at some point to actually gain those gains
Riding back to work at lunch today and on a long road with a steady decline where I can usually go at 22mph without putting any effort out I was putting out over 200w constantly and sitting at 12-14 mph :/
Yeah I've not had any real rest days recently, but just had few lower mileage days, planning to take it a bit easier week before Majorca to freshen myself up! Problem with the wind is any ride home from work is always harder than it should be just to get there. It's the gusting that frustrates me most!
Then ride the hybrid Sure it won't be as good as your road bike but any bike is better than no bike at all.
I ride my hybrid exclusively for about four months of the year simply because I don't want to fit mud guards to my road bike Its fine TBH and in the spring I get a free speed boost
Yeah, 100 miles (my usual target for the week) is pretty uncomfortable and slow on the hybrid though.
I don't blame you for wanting to avoid it if possible to be honest.
I've been converted from the hybrid by far now It even took a lot of umming and erring before I decided I would ride it for MTB the other weekend!
Ordered a few jackets - not really sure what I want!!
Ordered the Mens Langcliffe High Performance Rain Jacket (Black) - from sports pursuit
Also the Castelli Squadra Long Water Resistant Jacket and the dhb EQ2.5 Waterproof Cycling Jacket from wiggle
Going to try all 3 and decide which suits me best. I know the Castelli one is more of a back pocket emergency rain one than the other 2. Will see when they arrive and return a couple of them.

that's higher than my current ftp god how many KOMs etc are going to get destroyed by this stuff in the years to come, will be almost impossible to detect as you'll still have HRM/Cadence/power showing up
