Wind can really be strong this time of the year. I got lucky or second or third best lucky as I had a headwind leaving, so a tailwind for when I was tired and going up in elevation. Normally my rides have a tailwind coupled with a slight downward elevation. Which convinces me that I’m in great shape and having a good day... then I turn around to a brutal headwind going uphill. Having done this ride hundreds if not thousands of times, I still can trick myself into thinking I’m superhuman every time.
