Day 16: fighting the wind

Today I was seriously fed up with the wind. Coming directly from southwest it was right in my face most of the day at 10-15 mph with gusts of 30. I had trouble keeping up my energy, until I just stopped trying to fight the wind and just keep my speed slow. Things got better then, and the last 15-20 miles of my ride were down hill, so I'm feeling better at this point. Managed to ride almost 60 miles.
