Hi!
I plan to arrive in Kashgar (Kashi) at the beginning of September. September-November is the best period to cycle Tibet alltough the nights can get quite cold (-15C). Day temperatures vary between -5 to +15C. But on the other hand it doesn't rain that often during these months. From November onwards there's a chance of snow but especially in november it evaporates right away in the morning due to the low humidity of the air. In December the highest passes (5000m+) will be hard or impossible to cross due to snow.
You can start earlier though but remember that the rainy period is between Mai and August meaning muddy roads in Tibet.
Cycle the world,
