You're cycling from Oregon to North Dakota starting at the end of September? Depending on where you're starting and ending, that's approx. 2200 km. How long are you planning to take to do that? And are you planning on cycling through the mountains? Do you have experience cycling in snow?
I live in Nodak so I am pretty familiar with winter conditions. I am actually starting on sept 25th so I hope to get through the mountains before the conditions start to deteriorate. I hope to be finished around October 13th-15th. Should be doable I think. Mid October is when the snow tends to stick in Montana from what I read so hopefully I am long gone before that occurs. I am bringing some winter gear to be prepared
