I'm not a fan of riding in the wind. Luckily, the last two places we've lived have enough different types of terrain that we can kind of choose where we want to ride based on the weather. If it's super windy, we pick wooded routes and greenways for most of the ride (same routes work in extreme heat). For cold days, we opt for the farm routes where the sun will keep us as toasty as possible.

But yeah, wind sucks. I'll take mountains to climb over sustained winds ANY DAY. At least mountains have tops, right?
