I wouldn't guarantee that you wouldn't get wet, but from experience if it says it's going to be sunny for the next 4 days then you're likely going to be good for at least 3 of those 4 days.

I was on the Olympic Peninsula and up by Baker and the Cascades all last week and it was okay temp and wetness wise. Kevlar jeans, Dainese jacket with a hoodie under it, and uninsualted gauntlet gloves was basically the perfect temperature.

Leaving at 10:00am most of the roads were dried out by the time I got to them. I still have sportbike friends that are riding these same areas this week, so it's definetely doable. Last week it was still a blast, and this week's weather is essentially identical...

If I had the chance to do the opposite ride this week, I would personally say yes.

PS: I'm assuming you mean Vancouver, BC. If it's Vancouver Washington, then I'd say go for it even more, as it's shorter and you're further south.
Yeah. B.C.

Been 22 years since I was in your lovely town. And I thought touring by bike would be the way to go.

Not wild, though, about being in a strange town in a cold rain on a heavy cycle.
Plan was, to try and leave tomorrow; overnight somewhere east of Seattle, and then cross at Blaine. Spend the weekend up there.

Looks like four days of rain from Friday.
