General Discussion / Grand Canyon

« on: December 14, 2013, 12:04:52 am »

I have a deep and constant desire to cycle tour the Grand Canyon (South Rim). I am a very athletic woman who has completed two independent, loaded tours (solo) a few years back. The first consisted of 4 days and 200 miles round trip, all camping in South Florida. The second consisted of 14 days, 600 miles round trip, 2 hotel stays (emergency) and the rest camping in Ohio. My intentions were to make it to Erie, PA, but the weather turned bad leaving me no choice but to turn back south.  Now I want to do a portion of the Grand Canyon around April 2014. I will be loaded and solo with the exception of my AmStaf dog. I know that cycle touring this area will be somewhat different than the ones before, but I am not totally sure where the differences will be. Can anyone kinda give me the heads-up on what to expect, best preparation, best plan of attack and so fort?

General Discussion / Koga Miyata Touring Bike

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a second touring bike. Right now I have the Cannondale t1 and am crazy about it. I have been looking at the Koga Miyata Traveller G. I don't have much knowledge when it comes to good and bad points about bikes, therefore, I would like some knowledgeable opinions on this particular bike, please. www.koga.com
