Went out for a 35-miler today. Windy. About 3,000 ft climbing, which included a grinding 3-mile climb at 8-11%. I was an idiot and didn't think I needed a good meal or any real snacks along the way. I bonked hard at mile 30. Last 5 miles sucked, as I hallucinated about ice cream sandwiches and a punch bowl full of cereal.
@spoonrobot - if I can muster up the energy, I'll post some.

One scenario I love headwind--steep descents. I keep my body upright as possible and usually don't have to use brakes.
