Wind doesn't bother me all that much.

I spent many years in windy areas and learned to ride the wind. Hills, on the other hand, are a huge challenge for me.


To make riding in the wind easier, do this ...

When you're riding into the wind, relax. Get comfortable, ride easy, and relax.

Then, every single time there's a slight break in the wind, go hard. Take advantage of every break, every tailwind.

When you start doing that, riding in the wind can actually be reasonably enjoyable.



All that said, when the wind gets up over about 80 km/h, I'd rather be riding my trainer or running on the treadmill. I've done rides in winds over 80 km/h ... but there isn't much that makes those rides enjoyable.
