At first you will over-dress and under-dress several times before you get the feel for it.

I dunno about that, it does have some effect. today going down the hill into the wind, I felt a lot colder, particularly the less covered parts, like bits of my face. When I turned around for the other leg, going up hill, i got quite sweaty. So, if you have significant changes of direction, going into the wind can have an effect. It depends on exactly how your route direction goes with or against the wind, i would say. You're wearing windproof clothing yes, but the wind is still going across the body, taking away more heat. It's not the same as someone standing around, or walking, but it does need to be taken into consideration.
