Ever taken a bicycle tour?

Where to? What kind of bike? I did a solo ride on a full-suspension Gary Fisher Sugar from Minneapolis to San Fran. Took the high route through MN,SD,ND,MT,ID, and into WA. Then I followed 101 down the coastline to CA, where I followed hwy 1 to San Fran. Rather unorthodox set-up; I zip-tied a plastic milk crate to a seat-post rack and crammed it full of camp gear. I had a small pannier hanging off either side of the crate. Just looking for people to share their routes, set-ups, and experiences……..

I’ve done bike touring and most of them one, two, or four day tours. Two panniers, and a trailer is all I use. I also sell bike touring trips and I can recommend places for you start investigating bike touring as well. The best choices are Adventure Cycling Association, Crazyguyonabike.com, Bike touring 101, Bike Touring, WarmShowers.org, and my favorite “Gordon’s Guide” which I will send you a link to it.
