Timing for TAT west to east

[IanC]

I'm currently in Vladivostok, waiting for my bike, having ridden from the UK to Magadan, and was hoping ride back across the US TAT.


What's the latest I could do this and still enjoy it? I don't mind near-freezing temperatures, but I don't want to ride the whole thing in gloomy conditions, mud and rain.


I reckon the soonest I could be in Oregon is around October 8th - but I fear this may be too late to start? How long should I allow? I like to do longer days than a lot of people, but don't want it to be a race.


It's likely I would air-freight to Vancouver, and I'm riding an 1190 R.

Hi IanC

I'm sorry I just saw this post. Here's a link to help.

National Snow Analyses - NOHRSC - The ultimate source for snow information

The Snow Depth map is the main one of interest other than general weather. It's going to be cold. Cinnamon Pass was 7C way back on the 4th of July. Locals love this time of year, just keep your eyes open and best of luck!!

Let us know how things are going.

Thanks but I'm back home in the UK now, it didn't work out this year for a number of reasons, including that my bike's only just now reached Vladivostok. If work permits, I may have a go next year.
