I can relate to the hating the winds so much so that I chose not to ride today as those winds are here today gusting up to 40 mph. I do not remember ever having so much winds but in these past two years I am noticing getting more windy days. I had times were I was riding into a head wind down a hill that I get good speed on and having to pedal down the hill because of the wind. If I have that happen to many days in a row I will take a day off as I hate fighting winds to get home. Fighting to get to work does not bother me so much but getting home should be easy(in my mind). I will take the cold over the winds.
