I've used a Cloudburst for spring/summer/fall backpacking for the lastsix years. Works great, has great ventilation (as mentioned above), and keeps the bugs off ya. 20 mph winds don't seem to be a problem with the Cloudburst as its rounded profile seems to help shed it fairly well (orientation of the tent helps, as it does with all 'tunnel' shaped tents). Being a single wall doesn't bother me - lots of double wall tents are simple a mesh interior, which really is no good against rain if the fly gets a hole. I have used it in mild winter conditions (cold, but no storms expected) and it worked OK.

Discliamer - haven't used itbicycle touring; I'm a wimpy 'credit card' inn-to-inn bike tourer.
