Red-I was spinning as much as I could but it was really really hard to!! The wind was just straight at me for about 20km...(It's known at the Freo Dr..a strong wind that cools perth down in our summers)
I also have to mention that I had a hard time seeing because the wind was directly at my face, sand was blowing at me...I guess I was focusing on just keeping my bike straight & upright
I was in my lowest gear..& i normally can spin but when it comes to any sort of wind, I just can't fine any power...Along the river it's sometimes impossible to go forward when the dr is in but i want to go home the long way.
No idea what the other guys were doing but they made it look rather easy.
Tanks for all the info. Next week when i head along the river again & there's a headwind, i'll apply some of the techniques you guys have suggested.
