USA Touring

We found America to have the best organised touring routes. 

Our route was the Pacific Coast and we used the ACA touring maps. They were our “bible” and made our trip hassle free.

 

USA Weather

We commenced our trip from Victoria in September and arrived in San Diego late November. 

We experienced warm weather riding along the coast except for one week where we had sea mist, causing a few damp low visibility riding days.
