As I mentioned in “<\/span>Confused Kyoto Cherry Trees Bloom Five Months Early<\/a>”<\/span>,\nPaul Barr and I rode<\/span> our bikes down to Osaka from Kyoto. It's about<\/span> 50km each way, so the round trip was about 100km (62mi) total. <\/p>\n\n

Here's our trip on my cycling heatmap<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

I'd made the same trip by myself earlier in the week, and\nwritten how windy it was for much of the day<\/a>,\nbut the wind during the trip down with Paul was by far the strongest sustained winds I'd ever ridden\na bicycle<\/span> in, on par with a medium<\/span>-sized typhoon. It was just<\/span> ridiculous. I made<\/span>\na short<\/span> video<\/a> trying to illustrate the wind:<\/p>\n\n
