I failed to mention that there will be no camping on this trip. I already wear yellow tint glasses over my eyeglasses. I initially bought them for night riding, as they cut the glare and still allow me to see the puddle of light in front of me. I now use them all the time.
I do expect below 20*C a good bit of the time, and yes, I am cold at those temps, and would not want to be wet too. I will look into what sort of rain gear can be acquired on this side of the border. Thanks for the dry shoes tip. Maybe I could ride in my Chacos and save the tenners for dry times. I have a windbreaker that is useless in the rain.
I ride a Brooks C15 when I travel, specifically for weather issues. It also happens to be one of my favorite saddles anyway.
Thanks for all the feedback.
