I feel your pain. Here in Fort Wayne my route north for maybe a mile before turning west for a few miles, depending on length of ride. Then I turn north again and do sort of an odd shaped rectangular shape ending in a 3-4 mile stretch home.
there is always the Indiana easterly breeze, some days stronger than others. However lots of days it seems no matter what direction I’m going there is a headwind.
