Hi,
@dkoloko: Thank you for suggestions about the itinerary.
@bikeliciousbabe: The days are shorter but doing about 65-70 miles each day we will have time also to relax. I have already planned to sleep in hotel. No problem for the cold…we are Canadians 😊

Routes / Suggestions for NY
« on: November 01, 2022, 05:12:11 pm »
Hello,
I'm planning about 10 days in NY state before end of November. My idea is Albany - NYC - Albany
From Albany to NYC I find the "Empire State Trail" and after I would like to cross Long Island, take a ferry to New London and go back to Albany.
It's a good idea?

« on: July 13, 2022, 12:27:14 pm »
Hello,
We are a couple, and we have three persons tent MSR Mutha Hubba, because during a long trip, we think a minimum of space is appreciable. The difference of weight between 2 and 3 persons lightweight tent is the same of a T-Shirt.
We prefer to have our baggage in the tent, primarily for comfort and practicality. For example, if during the night it’s raining and you forgot something in the paniers?
About the “kitchen” we use two stoves: MSR Pocket Rocket (2.6 oz) where is easy to find propane or MSR Whisperlite where we can’t find it. For us it’s a good choice.

Hello,
We are planning to start the Pacific Coast in Vancouver, BC next August. Do you have a suggestion for an hotel not too expensive and not too far from the airport ?

Hello,
Thanks to all!
I would like to leave the second week of August from Seattle or Vancouver, I was a little afraid of the high temperatures, but with @John's answer I am more reassured.

Hello,
we are planning to start riding at the end of January.
Our first idea was to start from San Diego as many people, but I prefer to start from St. Augustine because roads are more flat at the beginning of the journey and we will arrive to the NM mountains in springtime, but I have a doubt about prevailing winds, which is the best direction?
Many thanks.

Hello,
I would like to start in San Diego next January. Some suggestions?
I know that in NM I can find snow, but my doubt is abount campground. It's easy to find? They are open also in this season?
All informations are welcome, also some address and place where stay.
Thank you all.

Thank you for your replay staehpj1,
In Quebec we have one hour less of light... but 10 hours each day I think it's ok to ride.
I want to be sure that:
- No too much traffic on the roads
- Not too much cold (ok, we are canadians, but...)
- Easy to find where to sleep
- Personal safety
...and please M Biden open this *** border...

Hello,
After some days, I think this could be my tour. I have seen this quadrilateral on the adventurecycling.org maps and I think is a good itinerary to discover the region. I have saved the suggestions of @staehpj1 and @John Nettles for add some detour during my ride.
There is someone that have other negative or positive comments.
My itinerary is ok for november-december?
Thanks.

Hello Staehpj1,
Thanks for your post.
At this moment I'm in a "collect info mode". Our first doubt is about Trudeau-Biden decision: next Monday Canada open border for Americans, but American border stay close for us....
One option will be to search a long stay parking in some city near Mexican border and start the ride in US or also change plans and change city each week for ride go and back each day.
I like cold weather, but not to ride with snow, my wife searches some warm weather to escape our winter. At home when is 50F, in winter, is hot day! No problem sleep into the cold, but at least ride with 60-70F during the day.

I'm sure that mexican people is great, I never have visited Mexico, but I'm hesitating about safety.
One thing is normal people, another thing is the criminality and Mexico is not a safety country.
We arrive from Canada with our motorhome, we live the veicule in some place and we start our trip. When I will go back I will find my RV? And during the ride what about the personal security?
