if your body is stiff, you are going to have less control. properly geared up, you can remain comfortable, and relaxed. a relaxed body always has better control than a tense body.
last week i went on a short ride when the weather was a little cool. had too many vents on my jacket open, which gave me the occasional chill. every time i shivered, the bike shimmied. relaxed my hands on the grips, and the shimmy went away.
as far as winds, just lean into it a little, stay relaxed, and roll on.
it is more important that you are comfortable on your ride, IMO. stiffness is a lack of control.
