Oh and one more thing (then I'll stop posting, I swear!) is that if you pressure yourself into taking off (you NEED xc time, remember) then what happens when you get to your destination, 55nm or so away, and the winds are even worse. Now you're left with either trying to bust out a landing that will depend more on luck than skill, or turning around and not getting the xc time, and still get left with a huge bill after you're on the ground. That's not the best place to be when you're trying to make a safety oriented decision, and the fact that you put yourself in that position says even less about your judgement.
