Head wind?

[zoom-zoom]

You folks from west Michigan have some serious wind coming off the lake. I have done quite a few centuries on that side of the state and the wind is brutal. Always!

It's stupid wind. Limewave isn't kidding...I swear I can plan a ride so that I ride into a headwind, then turn and coast home...but it NEVER happens! And frequently the ride home is uphill, too!

Unbeknownst to all of us, every road bike is equipped with an great big huge invisible fan which is rigged to blow directly in our faces. This means that no matter how carefully you plan your route so that you ride out into the wind and ride back, it will never ever happen. This also why you can ride a circular route or a triangular route or a square route or any sort of route with and without trees to break the wind and still have a headwind.

Somewhere up there the fates are laughing.

This is absolutely the truth. I can control the wind with my bicycle. I'm trying to figure out a way to make money with this power.

LOL. I just get crosswinds. Every. time.

I must admit, headwinds just defeat me. Even if I maintain my pace I feel like crap.
