In our area you never know what the wind will do. I live in a very hilly region with lakes and nearby Lake Michigan which has wind swirling around from any direction. To escape this dynamic I have to get out on the open road or putter through neighborhoods in town.

Wind is just something you learn to deal with. I have the realWind app that gives me instant and reliable data for planning.

A strong headwind is great for training. Where else can you stuff 30 miles into a 20 mile ride?
