ah headwind ... how I love thee

Hills make you strong.

Headwinds make you mean.

I'm not mean or strong enough. I'm going for a ride today.

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

yea headwinds make me mad! So I get even with them!

[caligurl]

wind sux!

[fixedgeargirl]

Headwind miles count double !

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.

Hee, I've had to hunker down in a ditch to avoid being blown over !

I tried fishing in my kayak a couple weeks ago when it started to get windy. It was not fun at all. Much rather do it on a bike. Does it really count as double the miles? Cause if that's true it is like every other day I have to deal with head winds here. I have got to go early in the day to avoid them and that is hard to do some times.

We better be careful - If headwinds count as double, then what do tailwinds count as?? LOL. Actually, I've heard that each 5 mph of headwind is equal to 1% of climb.
