I usually hate wind.
But when I was training for the Devil Mountain Double I wore a heart monitor when I was doing TIME CRUNCHED CYCLIST program workouts and the wind didn't bug me.
My goal was to work within specific heart rate zone, so it didn't matter if I was slow or fast, what mattered was that I hit the right zones.In an odd way it was liberating.

My solo ride tip is: Make sure you carry enough crap that two flats won't strand you. I accidentally ley my patch glue go bad and got stuck on a no-cars road. I had to chose: Ride on a flat, walk in my cleats, or walk barefoot. All bad choices.
Don't let me be you.
