Being at sea level we get LOTS of wind. If I ride to work, it's 13 miles due north. The prevailing wind is usually out of the north, so it's 13 miles of headwinds and no where to get out of the wind since I have the ocean on one side and the bay on the other. Typically the wind shifts in the afternoon, so somedays I am treated to headwinds in both directions. Oh joy. Up to 25 mph is ok I guess, but slow. Very slow.

Somebody famous said: "Hills make you strong, but the wind makes you mean." I don't know who said it, but I believe it wholeheartedly.
