[QUOTE="UHOH, post: 1150522, member: 2377"] Hi [I]Kevin69[/I] ... The PNW has two differing climates, due to a N/S coastal mountain range (Cascade mtns.) about 75 miles inland. On the ocean (west) side of the mtns. it is cooler and has real rain; on the inland side it is warmer-hot and dry, without enough rain for many crops. In PNW Canada the same approximation holds although temps are just a bit cooler when inland. My best riding weather in the larger region is mid-May to mid-Sept., by early October I'm really keeping an eye on the weather! The west coastal side (of the Cascade Mtns) seems driest mid-July to mid-September, but I don't live there. [B]For a 6 week ride window in the entire region, I'd suggest: [/B] [B]A. late May - early July, or [/B] [B]B. early/mid August - mid/late Sept. [/B] Canada. I like riding in Canada (BC); daily costs I encounter seem about 25% more than USA for every category. Lodging, fuel, food, drinks. The dead end coastal road north of Vancouver, BC is beautiful, and I like riding in the[I] Kootenay region[/I] (south central BC) especially. Sounds like great plan. Take a few photos and post them up! Even of your just past trip if you have them. [/QUOTE]
