Dont want to hijack this thread, but I´ve a question about one part of this route. I´m actually planning to ride the southwestern parts of US, as well as Mexico in just a couple of months from now.....
If it turned out we had some more time, before having to get back home (which would be great!), we might want to head some way south from Mexico. Maybe even all the way through Centroamerica to Panama, but we want it to feel like a holiday, and shipping out of Panama looks difficult plus I hear the borders over there can be a headache, so it is uncertain how far south we´d go.
My question is, how is the weather normally in tropical south Mexico & Central America at the end of September & during October?
I understand it will be the rainy season in the northern tropics, and I´ve got some experience of it from Asia, enough to know that it certainly is something to consider, and when it rains really hard, it may not be much fun to travel on a bike. And even if you wont get cold, you will miss a lot of the scenic places, too, if its very cloudy and gray most of the time.
So, if we presume the weather patterns dont turn upside down, would we be looking at a very wet (and constantly wet) trip riding from Mexico to Panama between Sept 30 - Oct 30?
