TOnight on my ride home I took the river route & had rather horrible headwind/sidewinds. I don't mind riding into a headwind as it'll eventually stop! I just don't want to get blown into the sand on the side of the path!

What i do mind is-folks zooming past me like i'm standing still! What exactly am i doing wrong? I've tried pushing harder but that doesn't work.
Ok, all of the folks passing me were gents..Am I trying too hard to be like a male cyclist?

Do i need to do more weights? Lose weight?

Any thoughts are lovely!
