I hate the wind too. It's much worse than hills, where you can at least see when you'll get hammered.

My favorite ride takes me across a busy and exposed bridge with a fairly narrow bike path. Yesterday the wind was gusting badly and I was really scared I would be blown into the (60+ mph) traffic lane.

And only half the ride is into the wind, but only if you're luckier than I usually am. Most of my windy rides seem to be into a constant side or headwind.
