Colin is right about windy days, I was riding towards the coast and sometimes the wind made it feel like I was moving backwards. Worth it on the still days though as you build up strength to beat the geared folk on the still days/up the hills. Bull horns and try bars is a good shout, especially on those windy days. That or a comfy pair of drops and a well set up bike which you can stay tucked down for several miles at a time.
