Gents (and ladies),
I've been bitten by the bicycle bug, but with a demanding job and 2 young kids, I daydream about cycling more than I actually pedal. I'm lucky to get out twice a week for 10-15 miles each time and generally sit completely idle at an office job. Used to be athletic, still think of myself as athletic, but mid-30's have caught up with me.
I've picked a couple long distance rides I wish to tackle. 1st choice is a ride from the McDonald Observatory in Alpine, TX down to Big Bend. 2nd choice is Pig Trail in Arkansas. #2 will probably win because of proximity alone. I'd like to try the Katy Trail in Missouri but they prohibit camping along the trail.
What do I need to know? I wish to camp along the way and probably haul a trailer behind the bike. Used to tour by motorcycle and assume many of the same principles apply. Please commence knowledge sharing...
...now!
Thanks!
