Columbia S.A.

Anyone been to Columbia in July? I looked at the weather and it seems as if rain is in the forecast half the month. Any locals here that can give me a better idea of what rain means??? In Phx we get 7 inches a year so I am good with that! Anything beyond a foot is too much! Any ideas gents?

It's going to be a hell of a lot more than 7" a year, you may not want to go and get wet Buy some good rain gear and enjoy pure motorcycle heaven, rain or not, Colombia is one of the best places in the World to ride a moto imho.

It is a very varied country with lots of different climate areas with loads of elevation changes over the three mountain ranges. Plan for rain no matter what time of year you go.

Yep some give Colombia no respect, its probably mostly because they haven't ridden there yet
