There isn't much you can do about headwinds, other than get as aero as possible and pedal. If you are in a group, you can share the lead and draft from time to time to get out of the wind. If you can choose your route, I usually ride into the wind on the way out and have a tailwind on the way back. Although we had a nasty headwind last night on the way back from our ride. Poor planning on my part, but we only did 25 miles...still coming back was a b****.
