When I’m riding my bike, almost nothing is worse, to me, than riding into a headwind. You feel like you’re swimming through mud and there isn’t even a downhill run as a reward for all the hard work (like you get with a difficult hill climb.)
When you’re faced with difficulty or hardship some is the wind which, even when it lets up, you still have a lot of work to do. Sometimes you get the hill that is really difficult to climb, but once you hit the top, everything goes in your favor and it gets really easy as you cruise back to the base.
Prepare for the winds, but hope for a hill climb.
