I had the Odo calibrated 3 years ago at Palo Alto Speedometer... and it
seemd to match up pretty good with the road signs, within reason.  As for
tailwinds... not really. It was more like a side wind and some at about 10
O'Clock.  Actual # is 23.68 averaged from Livingston Montana to Lewiston
Idaho  (but i like 'just under 24' better).  Things that helped were
probably the properly inflated tires (yet they are due to be replaced
soon), and steady speed of 62-64mph.  Maybe the canoe cut the wind better?
Maybe it was the Trade Winds?  Or maybe the cool John Coltrane oozing from
the speakers?  And my tires are stock size.
