Maybe if I had left an hour earlier (or later), I would have caught a tail wind both times
Were you clipping along at 25mph??
Seriously, I know what that’s like. At a certain point of the day the winds shift. Also, when riding a route with a tall hill or embankment it can funnel and shift wind direction. And usually when on the way back from a tough ride.
