Riding in the right season can make all the difference between enjoying your tour… and simply surviving it. Considerations to take into account include seasonal snow and summer thunderstorms in the Rockies, monsoon rain in New Mexico, and baking desert temperatures in southern Arizona. All these factors can thwart your progress at best, and put you in danger at worst. Likewise, plan your overseas trips to ride in sync with the local seasonal weather patterns, and the prevailing wind directions, where possible. They’ll be a lot more enjoyable that way.
