Michael: Last July I toured from the San Juans south as far as Corvallis, OR, along the west side of Puget sound. No rain in nearly 3 weeks of riding. A couple of years before that our family toured the San Juans for a week with only minor drizzle one day on San Juan. Earlier a group of us followed Bicycling the Pacific Coast's coastal route from the San Juans to Florence, OR. Minor drizzle one day on the Oregon coast but 100 degree temps in northern WA. All of these during July-August.
OTH, I've done the Oregon Bike Ride when it rained every other day, and not always along the coast. Summer seems fairly safe but don't be surprised by the odd storm. Less fun than riding in the rain is camping in the rain. I live in southern CA so tend to overreact to rain. dougP On Thursday, July 18, 2013 7:58:41 AM UTC-7, Michael Williams wrote: > > Hey group, just wanted to ask some of the Pacific NWers on the list if > it is necessary to have fenders for a tour from roughly Aug 1st to Sep > 1st?
