Probably riding across my home state of New Jersey from High Point to Cap May or Cap May to High Point haven't made up my mind yet.
Anyone want to go with me? I would love the company.

General Discussion / Re: Which bike tyre should I go for please?
« on: February 13, 2011, 11:26:11 am »It's good enough I would say, but the SMP is most likely your best bet from everything I have read about it, and that's
definitely what I am going with the next time I do a transcontinental bike tour across the USA. I would still bring a good puncture / patch kit though.
Talking about these tires ?

Think of the Appalachian Trail and the people who thru-hike the entire 2,179 miles. I've not done it but know several who have. Some start out with a friend, significant other, or spouse but end up doing and finishing most of it solo; most, however, do it solo from the get-go. When you ask them what the "best" part of the hike was, invariably you'll hear them talk about the people they met and hiked with along the way; and then there are the "trail angels" - total strangers who lent a helping hand in some hour of need. I know doing a cross-country tour will be very different in many ways but in my mind's eye I think the experience would be somewhat similar to that of a thru-hiker.
I have Thru-Hiked the entire trail.

Gear Talk / Re: Long Two-Person Trip Tent
« on: December 04, 2010, 11:56:55 am »The MSR Mutha Hubba might be a good choice, especially if you get pro-deal pricing. Plenty roomy for two people + gear (it's a 3p tent).
I second that especially with two people.
You will both have your own entrance/exit and won't have to bother each other in the middle of the night.
The two vestibules are good for extra storage. I have the Hubba and love it.It is a very weather tight tent.

I would say do you have children,a brother,sister or someone in the family that would let you use their home address as your place of resident and they would not have a problem with that so you and your wife can get your drivers license and health insurance sent there.
Just my thoughts and hope this will in some way help you out.
