I've cancelled trips before due to weather and always regretted it. Ill be happier riding in rain or heat than loosing the vacation time.
I just use proper gear for touring and prepare for everything. Heat and rain does not last the whole day.
I used coke can alcohol stove. I like it because it burn clean and leave no sooth on my cookware. You do need to carry alcohol for fuel but there is always HEET you can buy in most US gas station. My insulated lunch bag double as sink.
I'm into 8 months squeezing lemon into lemonade, so far the juice is worth the squeeze. Just go, no need to plan except the next day. Locals can guide you to hidden gems.
Use 242 then 394 all the way to warren instead. Road is bumpy northbound but better southbound.
I found most road north of Kane were actually bad from last winter.
44 north part is patched with slippery asphalt.
last weekend
Hey i know where to speed and actually avoided that stretch before ellicotville on 219. I myself got a performance award for allegedly racing a corvette with my prius :) at the same spot. We both overtake a sunday driver 12 over limit.
But my 2 ticket from 2007 never showed.
Lots of better...

Gross Morne park is gorgeous. I was there in rain- 2 days out of 3. I need to revisit to see the viking settlement.
Have you seen a Moose, never saw one in NFLD but saw a ton in Cape Brenton.
I wear scorpion leather/textile xdr jacket, its real balistic textile and the rain liner works. I wear textile JR pants and rain pants.
I also carry a lightweight hiking rain jacket that i can wear under or over my mc jacket and it kept me dry since 2006.
Boots I am on my 3rd A* web goretex...
Its good money and i like the week off in between shifts. You can only do short trips for weekends and loose time for family. But with the week off you can do a 3 day trip and spend the rest for family and house works.
I explored Edmonton and see the Motorcycle scene in the city. Mostly cruisers, they say sport bikers are growing and the track is always full.
I was happy to park my bike beside 2 other cbf1000 and 2 varadero.
Schnauzer with helmet.

Rained yesterday afternoon and was bitter cold earlier in Alberta but i finally got great weather here in BC.
