Has anyone got any tactics for riding into the wind. Just ridden my short round the block quick half hour (not so quick today) 5 miles, unfortunately when i set off from home everywhere is uphill, OK only a mile but a climb of about 500 feet, then I'm on relatively level ground for about 3 miles, then its downhill a mile and half dropping about 600 feet, and the last bit is about half a mile uphill back to where i started. I could hardly move with the wind in my face, or am i just getting old and things are catching up, didn't bother me as a kid from what i remember and i only had 3 gears at the most. The good thing about the route is i get to watch all the standing traffic near junction 28 of the M62 going nowhere.
