Most of my routes have tall pines on both sides. You get use to the wind and gusts that blow through treeless sections that grab your front wheel. But only if you ride often enough in those conditions to get use to it.

Though for the parts where the wind is funneling down the road an my direction is directly into it, you just have to think of it much like you would climbing a hill. A lot of effort for the number of pedal strokes you have to make.

However on hot days, that's better than it being a tail wind and my ground speed cancels out the wind speed and I bake with seemingly no cooling breeze.
