That's cool. For every rule there is an exception! I'd love to have that attitude about wind. It's kind of funny, the other day I was a little upset with a tail wind! I was climbing the same speed as the wind and I was getting too hot with no breeze. I enjoyed the hill, but still complained about the wind!

I agree with you about not liking the descent. I'm usually the last one down, being very cautious and not so young any more. But I love climbing, maybe because to me, hills mean scenery and excitement (and welcome cooler weather here lately).
