The good thing about the road I used for these latest coastdown tests is that it runs through a forest where the trees are right up close to the edge of the road.

The road direction is perpendicular to the prevailing wind, so the road itself is really well sheltered if the wind is blowing in its usual direction - it doesn't mess with the testing.
