You have a year and you want to ensure you have nice weather the whole time. How about a year-long North American bike tour chasing 70°F average highs? On this episode, we find a way! Originally podcast March 2, 2017.
Chasing 70 degrees by bicycle
Jan is a very leisurely existence in south Texas
June gets a fast forward
Lows are a problem during areas of elevation
This is a hypothetical thought experiment more than a real
route… but it’d be something fun to try!
Average miles (note there are some months that definitely
require fast forwards!)
Daily mileage is pretty key here… note the verrry leisurely
pace until summer when you need to do daily mileage that just isn’t
sustainable for the average bike tourist.
