headwinds are your friend, they make your butt smaller and provide unexpected resistance training. Learn to love them and crank into a harder gear to build muscle. If you fight them mentally, they will defeat you, go with the flow, and learn to ride into them and enjoy them.

Of course here in the flatlands of Katy, texas, I usually have head winds in any direction I am riding in. I have ridden one mile square loops and had a head wind on each leg. No it doesn't make sense but there it is, it is the giant invisible cosmic fan that floats just ahead of me.

glad yur riding is going better. Gotta love those "duh" moments.
