3 concerns to address here:
Has anyone had a flat on the windsor tourist? Im saving for it. I will bring and my small pump.
Southbound for 3 weeks in the spring is sure to involve some rain, but i cant tell if temperature will drop below 70F. Will i need my light rain shell and any leg layers beyond 2pr. Of shorts?
Im packing ultralite and frugal..
Lastly, any information on theMSPI trail would be helpful.
Thanks everyone.

Any bike tire can get a flat, except those whacky ones with foam inner tubes. Be prepared.
Those spring thunderstorms can drop temperatures in a hurry--I'd bring along a pair of leg warmers and rain pants (or cape). If you're cheap, one can make serviceable leg and arm warmers from women's knee-length socks from discount stores.
