Well, since we're only talking about nasty headwinds, the worst I ever had was last year on the Col du Glandon in the French Alps. 2km from the top, about 1800m elevation, 11% grade, raining with 6 BFT headwind (about 25-30mph). I was in my lowest gear, pedaling steadily, only managing 10km/h at the fastest. I swear if it hadn't been for the wind, I probably would have fallen over from going so slow.
