^ This.

I've done against-the-wind rides and runs. Neither seems fun, until you downshift and go with it. About all you can do, other than turn to go with the wind. Just have sufficient gearing, be in sufficient shape, and have sufficient good attitude to roll with it. About all one can hope for.

Can always look on the bright side: it's a good training ride; it'll make you stronger.
