Routes / Re: Hi Everyone! First Timer Cross Country Rider - ROUTES NEEDED
« on: February 21, 2017, 01:01:15 pm »
I don't know if you've discovered the bike touring pro website, but he has some good tips for stealth camping.
Someone upthread mentioned getting a stronger wheel for your bike...could you pull a trailer instead of loading the bike w/ panniers? That might take some of the weight off your bike frame. I'm a plus sized woman planning a solo cross country trek for similar reasons as you, so I'm in the process of looking into all the pros and cons of different routes and different bikes and ways of carrying things.
