Default Suffering with wind

Out and about this lunch time. Up a hill at 25mph, turned round,
standing on the pedals struggling to maintain 9mph down hill!

No doubt the wind will have turned by the time I go home, making it
hard work all the way.

At least it's a warm wind - no chilly north easterlies.

I've noticed the same here in Ipswich (apparently the only place in East
Anglia *with* significant hills).

Lincolnshire is mostly flat, but...the wind is mostly in my face

When I read the header I thought the subject was going to be about the
expelation of air from the anus!

Ditto, when I saw the title I started thinking about beans, boiled
cabbage and guiness.

Surely self produced wind is a help?

laters,

I came to a virtual standstill on Waterloo Bridge this after, not helped
by the sail aka bag on the front of the Brommie.

there's Witnesham (4 miles north, up Westerfield Rd) which throws 2
'biggies' into my commute ...

Try BiSoDol, or Windeze, or any other medication with simethicone ;-)
