Hills make you strong.
Headwinds make you mean.
I'm not mean or strong enough. I'm going for a ride today.Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

Bring out the edge
You know, I think you're right. Headwinds definitely bring out the edge.

Just think how much worse the headwind would be if you were in a kayak and had to work as hard as you could to avoid going backwards. At least you can stop pedaling, put a foot on the ground, and stay put. Just remember the prime rule of windy riding: go upwind first! I'm sure we've all learned by making that mistake.
