that explains it, I thought it was Alberta.

and yes, all in all, wind is like hills, there will always be another hill, and there will always be crummy days with headwinds.
and I certainly second the comment about planning a trip with realistic, doable mileage per day, so if a crummy wind day comes up either you have sufficient hours in the day to get to where you need to go, and or you have some extra days in the bank in case situations really do screw up your planning, and have an impact on final destination time, re a flight or whatever.
