Canada to Argentina, September

Hey Guys,

Could someone please help me out, I have taken a contract on at work meaning I finish September 20th next year. After this, we will be looking to fly to Canada (take advantage of the much cheaper Fly Your Bike scheme) and travel down to Argentina, going via West coast of USA.

However, I've been researching the weather this evening and feel like bashing my head against a wall, it seems wherever we go on the way down we hit cold and wet weather.

We are looking to average over 6 months to give an idea of timescale.

Can anyone offer advice or experience of this route & dates? Feel I just need some confidence that this is the right route/time.

Thanks in advance, Jade

I am planning to head the same direction, leaving Canada in September. Some of the higher elevations in Canada and the northern US could get snow at that time, but if you stick to the west coast you won't have any problems.

Sorry for the extremely late reply! I dont have a specific route planned but if you are looking for some suggestions through western Canada I would be happy to offer some options. I have ridden a lot of eastern BC and western Alberta. PM with your landing point in Canada and some of the places you want to see and I can offer some suggestions.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
