Re: Patagonian wind and other things

hi there

i just got to ushuaia yesterday. i cycled the carretera austral and crossed at chile chico - los antiguos into argentina. from there to rio gallegos and to ushuaia.the wind came only from west-northwest, so i had mostly tailwind. just the last hundred kilometers to ushuaia were towards west and against some strong headwind. all the cyclists i have met complained about the headwind they had to fight against. i would highly recommend north to south.
if you want further information on conditions send me a pm.
have fun on your trip and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
take care
