I have a pretty nice problem that I’d like some help with.
In about September this year I plan to ship my bike to either the US east coast and ride down to Argentina or ship it to Argentina and ride it back up.
The season seems to me to be the main point here. If we, (wife and I on one bike) head south in September the weather in the southern US states and Central America shouldn’t be too hot but we’d have to get down to Ushuaia within a few months to hit the southern summer. I hear it’s way too cold out of summer.
Anyone been there and know when it is best?
If we ship south to Buenos Aires in September we can mooch down south in their summer to Ushuaia, then head north. I have no time constraints and want to take my time and pootle up on A and B roads. If it takes six months, that’s fine, I want to take our time and get off the beaten track.
This is a firm trip, not a wannabe trip, but we are always very flexible and never have fixed itineraries so please don’t confuse my not-committed-to-the-route-yet for being a dreamer.
Can any of you who’ve been this way before offer any suggestions/opinions about the seasons and your experiences? I especially love mountains so I need to get the weather right.
I’ll also picking people’s brains along the way for border crossings, great roads, mountain passes and things that crop up along the way but not yet.
Thanks All,
Graham
