In my ride today I have two very different headwinds. The first is for 20 minutes, it is flat and fast. The headwind absorbs 20% of my energy. Later on my route, another headwind is while I&#8217;m out in the hills. Overcoming gravity reduces the impact of the weather, absorbing less of my energy at 13% wWatts.<\/p>\n<p>wWatts is a Premium metric. It enables you to quantify the weather conditions as a percentage of you power output on all of your Strava Activities and Segment efforts. It&#8217;s a great time to upgrade to premium with the discount code &#8216;winter20&#8217; and so that you save 25%, you then pay only \u00a314.99\/year.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Premium here <a href=\"\/my\/premium\/\">mywindsock.com\/my\/premium\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmywindsock%2Fvideos%2F454794881848724%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m off into the hills.
