Pushing into the wind

Haven't been cycling much whilst I was back in Malaysia. Went on the usual Sunday ride with the club today. Not very fast, not very hilly, with a cafe stop. Just happened to be my turn on the front with the biggest guy in the group (cycling track sprinter) driving hard into a headwind. A bit like trying to push against a wall except that you feel the effort in your legs. The pain is a bit different from that you get when you have gone over your limit on a climb or on the flat. A dull ache in the legs more than anything. Headwinds definitely affect small people like me more than it does big people, only consolation is that small people are usually better on the hills.
