Last night, my spouse and I rode to rehearsal and back. It was windy, and we had a nice tailwind on the way out. She said the crosswind gusts pushed her hard. She's not a strong rider and is very lightweight. She didn't want to take the river path back, fearing the crosswinds, but I said let's try it. It worked out fine.

Today is a beautiful warm day, and my ride to class was great. Same tailwind in the same direction, so I'll have that headwind going home. I also rode to the dentist and back at midday. I carried less weight back, leaving all my plaque behind.
