That works as long as you can arrange your rides to take advantage of the wind direction. For me, prevailing wind in the summer is from the southwest and northwest in the winter. About two miles south of me is a large lake, and to the west and north, several miles of city. So most of my riding goes to the east and southeast and more often than not, a headwind on a return leg.
