When I ride someplace hilly and tree-lined I always think: is this better or not? I mean, with hills you always get a downhill break, with flats and wind- not so much.
I can either ride the flats just outside my door and be blasted by wind or go southwest about 20-30 miles to some horrible 15-22% plus gradient hills. Ugh. We can't win in Indiana. That said, I'd much rather ride hills than deal with the wind. If you train, you can master the hills. The wind, however, plays minds games with you no matter how used to it you are.
