Fixies into the wind are always pedaling uphill. With the wind isn’t necessarily pedaling downhill (the pull of gravity is stronger & more consistent) but into the wind is always uphill. Lacking the ability & hence the inclination or habit of down-shifting to make into the wind seem easier I consistently passed one geared rider today in particular & was passed by him once we turned with the wind. Ironically I credited my better wind with my passing him, since I must necessarily keep pedaling.
Still a long way from Season Ready but today was a good day.
