Rant: I spent 2 years fighting the headwind on my ride home before I tried leaving 20 minutes later
For a long time I was riding home from the office in Portland at 5:30 and getting blasted by wind off the river, showing up at my door a sweaty mess. About 6 months ago I started leaving at 5:50 instead, mostly by accident, and it turns out the wind dies down a lot by then, so I get home cooler and less wiped out. Does anyone else plan their ride around the wind instead of just the clock, or am I the only one who took this long to catch on?
