I would like to cycle across America starting in the 3rd or 4th week of February.
NB >It's Summer in South America<
I started a tour of Ireland and Scotland , last week of February in 1997, Dublin to County Kerry first section ,
then proceeded north from there ..
the Warming effect of the Gulf Stream waters, in the western coasts , there, is very significant ..
I mailed back quite a bit of clothing for colder weather.. once I was there and felt the difference..
I recommend you study the weather for the time you are planning to go where you plan to ride..
