Thanks for the suggestion to look at Lonely Planet "when to go" pages, exactly the type of resource I have been hunting for, though I could wish for a few more specifics in temperature for some countries....
Sounds like I cold do this route through I may spend more time in the highlands than along the coast. Riding in the rain ... I'll just have to adapt as best I can.
I'm coming to realize that route planning is somewhat of a lost cause given my only constraint is my bank account, which should last several years of RTW travel. No deadlines means there is nothing to determine if I will spend a month flying through Central America ... or a year exploring it in detail.
I'm beginning to think that when I leave next May I might simply flip a coin: Heads I go to Alaska first, Tails I go to Mexico.
