Best of Pedalshift 072: Chasing 70 Degrees by Bicycle

You have a year and you want to ensure you have nice weather the whole time. How about a  year-long North American bike tour chasing 70°F average highs? On this episode, we find a way! Originally podcast March 2, 2017. Chasing 70 degrees by bicycle http://us-climate.blogspot.com/2015/10/70f-road-trip.html?m=1     Jan is a very leisurely existence in south Texas June gets a fast forward Lows are a problem during areas of elevation This is a hypothetical thought experiment more than a real route… but it’d be something fun to try!   Average miles (note there are some months that definitely require fast forwards!)     Daily mileage is pretty key here… note the verrry leisurely pace until summer when you need to do daily mileage that just isn’t sustainable for the average bike tourist.   Images and idea: H/T to Brian B’s Climate Blog!
