Need Inspiration? Start figuring your Jens Factor

The Cyclocosm site has an amusing graph that allows you to determine the “Jens Factor” of every ride.  Named in honor of Jens Voigt, the X-axis is temperature and the Y-axis wind speed.  by inputting your ride temp and the wind speed, you can see your Jens factor.

We like it.  The problem for us is the chart needs to be a bit more sophisticated.  There needs to be a way to control for kilometers, climbing, ambient moisture, and pace.
