Next time before you ride check out the wind direction and speed. I am much more phscyed about my ride if I can go against the wind first and have a favorable wind to help me back after I'm tired. Sometimes the wind tricks me or changes directions,but not too often.Try to find a few different routes so you'll have more options with the wind and won't get tired of the same scenery. 22 miles is grrreat for a newbie road gal.
