What are the best times of year for Moab, Colorado, Arizona/New Mexico, San Francisco or The Big Island of Hawaii?

Answer:

MOAB
Best dates are March and November because, while these months are outside of traditional peak season, weather is statistically mild and low tourist visitation makes the best areas private playgrounds. April, May, September, October are peak season for mountain biking in Moab and the town can get crowded on weekends. During peak season rides are timed for minimum contact with humans outside the group. Accommodations get a bit tricky to book during peak season, so try to book your package at least two to three months in advance. Weekends, holidays and local events like Rod Benders and Jeep Safari create great demand on accommodations, so six months to a year advanced booking may be necessary to guarantee desired reservations. It is best to book for prime dates before the beginning of the year. October is the most popular month for mountain bikers for some reason. It has the highest average rainfall, too. November is a much better month statistically speaking. May’s flowers can be a real draw, but the previous winter has to be wet for the reliable flora. Late February and November are best for hardcore riders. We ride year round in Moab with less than four days per year when we choose to refund due to weather. There have to be flash flood warnings of sideways snow for us to cancel. From June through August the days are hot and the nights are amazing. Despite the heat summer is one of our most popular seasons for reasons involving traditional family vacations. We leave as early as 5:15AM during hot summer months to avoid the midday burn and recommend night rides to upper intermediate to expert riders around the full moon as the very best riding during summer. Night rides or rides at altitude require an ELITE SERVICE UPRADE to reserve. The SUPER ELITE SERVICE UPRADE offers the opportunity for more than one ride a day, which can include night rides, expanded range and mountain singletrack. These upgrades are the best way to take advantage of summer operations with wider range of trails and conditions for cycling.
