I know my body is shutting down the ride for me when heart rate is a bit elevated, breathing is up and I get whoozy in the head. At that point it is a struggle to keep pedals spinning at 12mph.
Did you ride the Tour de Corn? About all the last 45 miles was into that wind. I did OK until the 62 mile distance. Then I just pedaled the last 30 something miles. I had a few moments, but those moments did not last too long.
