Routes / Southern Tier- Route Safety/Hazards
« on: October 19, 2011, 04:28:43 pm »Thoughts on personal safety? We'd be going solo and self-supported, spending most nights in tents/campgrounds.
Thoughts about excessive risk of flat tires? I've toured extensively with Conti Ultra Gatorskins and not had issues, but might consider Schwalbe Marathons as they seem bomber (albeit at a very high weight). I've also read about puncture resistant liners (which might help the trailer I haul- as it has very soft tires).
Thanks!
