No judgement here, the wind and I are frenemies for life!

The most pain I have cycling comes from the winter and wind. I'm not hardcore enough to commute, just exercise on my mtb.

I've had transcendent rides at 0F and under with the wind at 15mph+ where the last 1/3 is straight into the wind, after dark, and all conscious thought stops. At that point it's all muscle memory and instinct, and cold. The cold. Then the next half hour at home acting like a zombie.
