I'm surprised how many prefer rain to wind. I usually ride by feel so my power doesn't change much in the presence of a headwind, I just go slower. When I have a tailwind, however, it feels different on the pedals and I generally pedal harder. At speeds above 45kph it feels like I'm pedaling normally but I'll glance down and see my cadence up at 105 but it feels like 90.

I get plenty of rain commuting in the winter and there's nothing pleasant about riding in the dark at 3C with rain. Seldom get rain from now until Oct.
