I'll be going in the middle of august hopefully, I am looking at maintaining +160km per day for +/-110 days...
I don't have much of the equipment but I will ship what I won't take on the airplane straight to Prudhoe (bike,bike trailer...)
I am on a budget (I am not penny less but the less the better) and this is a first for me.
I am an avid cyclist but I never rode more than 140km, I am bit scared of my training level.
But I am definitely determined (not sure if its better to be determined over trained) but, I am looking forward to the trip world record or not.
I will be packing light and efficient, I will be documenting all my trip.
(The subject seems pretty straightforward to my brain so it's hard for me to make this post less boring, but thanks for reading!<3)
I have important questions hidden in a lot of useless ones, I will figure out at some point but if anyone would like to enlighten...
Quote
- Anything I really need to take with me ?
- I will probably go for the coastal route as it will be flatter, any other routes I should consider ? (this one is important)
- Anything I am not aware of, not ready for... something I should expect...
- Any shop in the US online or in real life to shop for cheap/value bike and camping gear? currently I am going for amazon,crc,nashbar and the local ones REI, walmart... (I worked in a bike shop but I have not much experience in bikes that take so much mileage and abuse)
- Any life changing bikes out there ?
- Anything I should't do ?
- Anything worth doing ?
- Does anyone wants to do this with me ?(Would love to do this with somebody, contact me directly if you..)
- Anything I should read about traveling, camping, cycling and living this ? (this one is also important)
- Anyways I can make the trip cheaper ? Anyone I should contact that could consider a sponsorship ?
I will keep up to date this thread with questions and observations as well as the link to the blog.
(again,please excuse the boring post)
Many,many,many thanks for the inspiration and help already received
