There are times I sure will. Doin' the Pacific Coast, better north to south for example. Heading across my home region by June, winds almost always have a southern or westerly orientation. Rarely from the north or due east but it can happen. We were touring across IL and IN several years ago and hit three hellacious days of easterly winds, by the third day, I was up and riding before dawn but that's generally rare.
Btw, indyfabz's talk of high humidity here in the Mississippi/Ohio River valley is vastly overstated, nothing but balmy arid conditions during our mid summer. Tell em' Squeeze how dry it is in St. Louis on a July evening.
