General Discussion / Inspiration for a 2 week mid-February tour
« on: December 12, 2022, 02:51:44 pm »
Hi all,
My bike travel imagination is in need of a boost. I would welcome some brainstorming for a two week tour location in mid to late February. It would probably need to be an out and back, or a point to point with Amtrak support. I suppose I could do a hub and spoke thing if there was plenty of great riding in a particular area. In order of importance, I'd say I'm looking for:
-Limited to Continental US or maybe Baja Mexico
-Plenty of warm sunshine 8
-Reasonable traffic conditions. (I consider a 4+ foot shoulder plenty adequate if not overwhelmed with high speed traffic). -Shoulderless pavement in spots would be ok if traffic is very light.
-Dirt/gravel options would also be fine. Maybe even preferable if the service options were reasonable.
-Plenty of access to available camping/public space with motels available along at least part of the route.
I've got some ideas but I'm curious to see what all you come up with. Thanks in advance!
