Had the same issue on my ride last Sunday. I'm still a newbie so this is what I did. Lowered the gear and kept pedaling. I came to the realization that keeping any sort of pace for myself was a lost cause because of the wind.
I'm in Wisconsin and the last couple of weekends have been absolutely brutal here!
