When it's coming strong from the front, or gusting heavily from the side when you have panniers on, it can truly be said that "Wind Totally Blows!" It's annoying to have such a small ratio of distance gained to effort expended in a strong headwind...
I'm kind of glad I don't live in Colorado now. I'm imagining my feet sticking out from under a house, as a little girl comes out and tells her small dog "Gosh! I don't think we're in Kansas anymore!"
