I joined my bike club for a 2 day set of rides. On day one, we had to ride 18 miles (from town A to town B) into a headwind. At the end of that ride, i hurt so badly that i didn't ride the next day.
Another ride, my DH was on a tandem with my daughter in law. She wasn't feeling good (and was tired of the headwind) but i was determined to stick it out. When she finally gave up, it felt SO good to turn around and head back home (with a tail wind. I was standing and whooping and carrying on, i felt SO good, I was smiling all the way back!
I would hate to live somewhere (like west Texas) where you have so much wind.
In florida, they call that "their hills"
