I'm a relatively small woman, new to cycling. I generally do long rides on the weekends, but lately we have had a ton of wind. It really makes me nervous when a gust of wind catches my bike and actually moves me around. (I'm nervous enough about the speed, the hills & the clipless pedals - I don't need anything else!)

My question is - how should I handle these wind gusts? Slow down, stay steady, push ahead?? Last weekend, I kept stopping and eventually gave up and went home. Unfortunately, the wind isn't going anywhere, so I need to learn how to better deal with it.

Thanks!!
