As I was riding home on Tuesday night into, and cursing, a 15-20mph headwind I thought about this post.
Please remind me on July 1st, when it's 95 deg without even a breeze, how much I hate the wind.
Thanks

Egg-zactly!
I long for warm weather until it gets here in Georgia... it's the first week of March and we've already had two 77F days! The brutal heat is just around the corner...

Rode home in shorts and a jersey yesterday and even got a little sweaty. (had a 15 mph tailwind to boot) and please remind me too about the wind on July 1st when temperatures are 110+ and the humidity is on the rise for Monsoon season.

Whenever I'm tempted to complain about the current conditions, I play a little game called "At least it's not..."
If it's 20, I say, at least it's not 90 and humid.
If the wind is 20mph, I say, at least it's not snowing.
etc...
I usually feel better.
