Any sense of how you might want to route this ride?

If you can, one option is to leave it open until the last minute and see what the temperatures are like in Utah, and whether there are any unusual summer storms in the Northwest. That could give you the option of better weather.

And riding two up plus camping? I wish you well in getting all the gear on the bike. My space is taken up with only a rider and no camping gear. Do you have a trailer?
