Good on you for fighting the wind. Its what separates the men from the boys (or the women from the girls).
I have been lucky with the wind except for a few rides across the GWB. I got a really good dose of wind going north on the Hudson Greenway from Battery Park to the GWB one day back in March. Holy cow. If I didn't shift down and spin, I would have been toasted and fried...
