VANCOUVER TO SAN FRANCISCO IN OCTOBER

[Jim Staedler]

I am a newbie...  I'm considering a Vancouver to San Francisco ride in October.  Is the weather OK in October?  And are there any other considerations I should be aware of during that particular month?  All feedback will be appreciated.

I have biked from Seattle to the Bay Area a number of times, usually mid to late September. One trip did start the third week of October, generally following the ACA route in Oregon and California. It was...damp. Most days I experienced drizzle and cool temperatures. Earlier October I would have encountered more Indian Summer weather. South of Fort Bragg in Northern Califonia the weather was better because the summer fog stayed off-shore.

Patco,

Thank you for your feedback.  I guess I'll have to watch the weather.
