Bah! I felt great heading out on the road on Monday. Hadn't registered the breeze until I turned for home. Cue painful slog.

I love it when your speed matches the wind.
You get in a quiet bubble and all you can hear are your tyres.

Tailwind, whats that then? It is either a headwind or a good day when my training is paying off 😆

I'm sure the wind around my way plays tricks on me.

You slog along with it in your face, a few turns so it should be behind you and, oh what a blooming surprise, it's still in my face!

My route home is directly east to west, so I'm used to a constant headwind. Injured at the moment so spared a 25mile suffer/slog at the moment.

the wind is my friend the wind is my friend the wind is my friend the wind is my friend... repeat to fade... nope still not convinced.

My ride home is due east which is usually a headwind then I turn and come back along the other side of the river due west. ho hum. rarely is it a win.
