Gai,

have a rummage around in the shed and see if you can locate your husband's old racing motorbike. take all the aero **** off it and strap it to the front of your helmet. that may help in the wind.

if not, eat a truck load of onions, beer and other wind greating tucker the night before the race. CREATE YOUR OWN WIND! All the old codgers will then have to work out how to ride through it and you could well be off the front and on your way to the glory you seek!
