Routes / Transcontinental, Southern Tier with hotels & sag wagon - QUESTIONS
« on: May 18, 2020, 02:05:25 pm »I'm very curious about how to plan overnight stops, and how to plan for 60 to 100 miles per day. My wife will be driving a "support" vehicle and we will stay in hotels along the way.
For discussion purposes, here's my bio: I'm now 61, living in Kansas City. It will likely be two years (spring of 2022) before I make the trip. In the 1980s & 1990s I was a competitive, amateur road cyclist in Colorado. I've never done any long distance touring. But, back in the day, I regularly rode 400 miles per week for race training. I recently bought a 2020 Trek Domane, and plan to use that bike or something like it for the trip (no packs or paniers). Currently, I am very comfortable on 45-50 mile rides at an average of 16 MPH.
Is there anybody out there who has done transcontinental bike trips in a similar way (no packs, with vehicle support)?
