The wind can definitely be a factor. Most often, the wind is from the west, so if you are going one way, it is best to ride west to east. If you are going out and back, then it is best to start riding into the wind and have the wind behind you for the last half of your ride when you are tired. But much of the trail is surrounded by bluffs or vegetation that blocks the wind. So some of it depends on where you ride. There have been days I wanted to ride, but haven't because of the wind----but I live close and can ride the next day if the weather is decent.
