Gear Talk / Locks/ theft
« on: January 28, 2008, 10:49:35 pm »
I am going to attempt to go solo for about a month. I want to go ultralight and i was wondering what everyone does to keep their stuff from getting stolen. Say, if i go into a grocery store. I don't really want to carry a heavy lock, but i guess if its my only option... Or will i be alright if i just avoid populated areas?

any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Routes / Route choice for May 08
« on: April 08, 2008, 12:52:40 am »
I am in no way new to bikes, but I am new to touring. For  a while I have wanted to ride across the country but it has not been possible. This summer, starting may 8th, I have just over a month to do whatever I want. I would like to ride from either St. Louis to the west coast, or from Chicago to the west coast. Which route should I take? I am torn between the northern tier route and the Western express (combined with trans America). Unfortunately I could not find anyone to do it with so I will be going solo. (I think) I am prepared to do 90-100 miles a day, so based on the time of year, my lack of experience, and my going solo, what does everyone recommend? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks
