Only 25 MPH?
Childs play.
Out here in the Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansasborder areas where I ride for the most part wind speeds of 35 MPH plus are nothing out of the ordinary.
Like anything else you get use to it, but like they said, it's amazing at some of the stuff you can get use to.

RE: 25mph head wind sucks
I hate riding in heavy winds, but a head wind isn't too bad. It's the cross winds that get me. Especially if I'm on a long ride and have the weenie shield on the bike. That thing catches those cross winds and really moves me around. Not so much if it's a steady wind, but it's the "gusts of wind" that I don't like.

Yep. I agree with Sportypig...
In my limited experience, head/tail winds aren't so bad and even constant winds are tolarable.
It's the gusting crosswinds that seem to move me around a little more than I care for.
