Sustrans group ride cut off is 30 mph I have been told. Probably 10 years back now a BC ride leader took on a ride with 50 mph near the sculpture park and M1 junction. My eyebrows remained raised for the following week. When leading I remembered this. Not all legs have the wattage.
Yes, tit's the unexpected gusts. If I ever saw winds over 30 forecast, I'd either call off a group ride or work out exposed spots and re-route. Pros make riding in wind look easy. The nature of breakaways is a reminder it's not.
