Well it has been a few years since my 1st bicycling tour. Why trip 3? Well I did do a cycling trip in Europe along the Mosel river using biketours.com. Trip 2 was a self guided 7 day tour where they company provided the bike and carried your luggage from hotel to hotel. I hope to get it documented some day.
As to Trip 3, I’ve chosen to go from Fort Worth, TX to St Augustine, FL. Why? This will account for my traveling 2/3 across the US and, once I get to New Waverly, it will all me to travel along the established Adventure Cycling route.
The difficult I’m having now is that I want to keep my 1st weeks mileage down. Unfortunately that’s not happening due to finding hotels along the less traveled routes. In fact, night 3 is in Normangee, TX and I cannot find a hotel. I’ve reached out to their chamber of commerce but have yet to hear back. Looks like I may be camping.
Am I ready? I’m not feeling yet. I’ve not planned this in any kind of detail like I did my 1st trip, that and the Covid crap. I’m hoping to rely on the Adventure Cycling to help. You could ask the question are you EVER fully prepared for such a trip. The answer is never … but you must start somewhere. If something goes haywire I’m fully prepared to rent a car or uhaul.
