If I start on June 3rd what are the advantages/disadvantages of starting in Antelope Wells and going Northbound vs. starting in Banff and heading South. I have a month to ride and will be done riding no later than July 7th.

If you are northbound on that start date, you could potentially be in Colorado about the same time as me. That, in itself, it pretty advantageous.

Having started from both ends and the date you have chosen i'd start in wells and go north...  there are however a few climbs that are to pleasant in NM and CO going north... and you have to read your maps backwards...  witch works with my dysleic brain for some reason Wink
