Thanks for the input fellas! I almost forgot about full body training/workouts. I suppose training in the winter will help me appreciate the TransAm heat haha!

Sorry for bringing back an old thread but, I was wondering what those of you doing the TransAm in the Spring are doing for winter training?

I plan to go on the trip in May as well. It's going to be my first tour as well (I know not to, but I've been wanting to take this trip for YEARS) and I want to make sure I am conditioned well enough to do so. I know once I get going, and make it over the dreaded hills I keep hearing about, I'll be fine to finish the trip strong.

Would purchasing rollers be a good idea, or would it be more beneficial to just get out and try to ride on road? I live in Central PA so I would rather keep my trike and gear out of the elements, so they are still in top shape come May.

I am also going to be traveling E->W as well, so I hope to see you all eventually!

This is the kind of site I have been looking for! Thank you for sharing it. I hope to be able to explore all the paths and contribute when I find others.
