No.

Problem is the time differential. Let's say you have a straight out and back route. Wind's blowing 20mph steady in your face on the way out. So you're grinding away at burn threshold and you're only going 14 mph.

Now you reach the turnaround and suddenly you can go 28 mph with very little effort.

But it doesn't compensate. The reason is that you spent twice as long grinding into the wind as you do getting a big boost on the way in.

Make mine a calm day for riding.
