What is the Tailwind Score?

The Tailwind Score rates a ride from 0 to 100 for a departure time, based on the wind, rain and temperature along the route.

The Tailwind Score tells you how good a ride will feel at a given time. It runs from 0 to 100, and higher is better. A ride has a different score for every departure time, because the weather changes as the day goes on.

What the numbers mean

• 80 to 100, Excellent. Strong help from the wind in good weather.
• 55 to 79, Good. A pleasant ride. Calm conditions land around here.
• 40 to 54, Neutral. Nothing special, and nothing to dread.
• 20 to 39, Challenging. Expect a stiff headwind, rain or both.
• 0 to 19, Brutal. Think about another time or another route.
