Wind on the Southern Tier

[Kinglet]

I'm riding the Southern Tier starting March 1st from San Diego. I'll take my time with side trips and days off. I could be on the road for 8 weeks. Where are the places that could have strong winds along the way. I may hole up if it's too windy but will that mean that I won't be going anywhere  ?

I haven't done it personally but a friend who did it said Arizona and Texas were pretty bad. Winds heading into Phoenix were 25-30. He said the winds were only an issue for a few days though.

Thank you. I think I just needed a little confidence building since I'm going alone. But it will be whatever it is. And I'll deal with it as it comes. Thanks again.

That's a very valuable attitude to have if you are to succeed in touring.

Thanks, I needed that kind of encouragement too. I'm leaving for my trip in 6 days so I'm at the countdown.
