When do you expect to be in the states? Or Mexico?

How much time you have planned for it?

Avoid the coasts in South America (except North Colombia and patagonia), and plan around the rainy season 😉

Planning on 6.5 months with a ~50/50 mixture of camping and hotels. More camping in Canada and the US towards the beginning of the trip.
The route is a rough draft, especially in Mexico and Argentina. I have it planned out with 180 days of riding at about 80 miles per day, but will add some zero days along the way. Let me know if you’re interested in joining. The more the merrier.

that’s pretty cool (especially the northern Canada part!) but you’re going through the worst and hottest US states. I imagine many stretches are quite desolate.

This might be one of the most beautiful routes ever to take. Not exactly the route you planned but I mean Alaska to southernmost Argentina. I follow several tourers doing this on Youtube, just breathtaking. Finding someone online is a bit risky imo but I wish you the best of luck in advance.
Once my crypto explodes I’ll be doing this!! Lol

Why have you skipped the coast 101 through Wa,OR, and CA? You are also going through wheel restriction areas so you would have to carry your bike in AZ. Also, I would highly recommend not riding through or near Los Mochis in Mexico.

How long will it take you ? What sort of mileage per day etc ?

Looks good, but skip the USA.

Not sure why you’d go towards the coast in Patagonia instead of following Route 40. It might be easier riding, but you’d miss out on some awesome places in exchange for flat desert coasts. Calafate and Chalten are too darn cool.

I highly highly recommend rerouting to ride the US West coast. It’s coastlines are stunningly beautiful, especially in Oregon/Northern California and is super bike friendly. I’ve done the whole thing twice now and would do it again in a heartbeat.

That looks like a Camel Tour: you’ll be carrying more water than anything else on the bike (you’ll be passing through so many deserts).

I toured from BC to Cali, can’t recommend the west coast enough, lots of bike only highways in Oregon. Might be worth a visit on your journey down!
Wish I could join, looks amazing. Happy riding!

Want to? Absolutely. Have possibility? Sadly, none. Wish you to have the greatest trip of them all and want to see some pictures asap!

I wish I was fit enough to put down those miles consistently. I’ve wanted to do this ride for awhile.
Have an awesome time!
