What would you do? Heres 2 choices? fellow cycling addicts? |
you have 2 choices (if you were single with retirement and almost young) 1.Stay someplace you dont like for a few months, get a used van, load all the bikes, kayak, and dive gear and take off for a year or so 2 Leave in 2 weeks,Put everything in storage except touring bike and trailer (camping gear) and set out touring the Good ol USA, Mexico and Canada? good touring weather in the north ends in October, you will be chasing the sun touring. but thats OK. Gasoline costs a lot to be driving a van, but can give a place to sleep. also lots to worry about dragging all your stuff around the country in strange places. I toured the US on a bike in 1976, the adventure of my life, still 30 years later. my brother toured the US in a pickup and trailer in 1994, the trip of his life. either one will do. but with petro what it is, I think i would do the cycle thing too. make a list of all your friends and relatives phone numbers and locations, it gets to be a hassle always being around with strangers. GOOOOD Luck Option 2!!! Both sound amazing, but touring the continent by bike? If I could I would! I have to agree with CT. See the continent by bicycle, I'll catch up with you in 10 years when I retire. I have a cycling friend who has just completed coast to coast (Va to Ca) on a bike. He only needed 60 lbs of gear (not counting the constant 2 day food supply he constantly replenished) and spent 79 days. DON'T forget a registered side arm for protection! definitely 2 #2 without a doubt. the first option is pretty tempting, however, you could always rent that stuff when you get to your destination, by bike!! go w/ 2!! |
