Apart from Dan explaining why he once cried into a headwind, this video goes through a number of tips to help you through long sections of headwind, avoid them altogether, or how to use them to your benefit to become a better rider. There's also a sneaky tip from Dan that you can use on group rides, much to Si's annoyance.
