Yeah, I hear ya for sure. We have this crazy wind that comes off of these giant bodies of water called the Great Lakes here. I'm no stranger to huffing and puffing just to stay above 10mp/h! It's demoralizing, but hell, you sure do appreciate calm days when you're doin' 20+mp/h effortlessly.
Wind would be considerably more tolerable it if wasn't so deafening.
+1! I wish earplugs didn't make me feel like I was in a bubble. I'm sure there's hearing loss associated with this.
