Underground Railroad Bike Trip

[CynFromMN]

Hey there, I am in the beginning stages of planning a bike trip along the UR bike trail. I am looking for people who have done this ride or who are interested in doing it. Thanks

For those who have done it, you might check out CrazyGuyonaBike.com and review their journals.  Also, check out CycleBlaze.com.

Tailwinds, John

I did it in 2022.

How did your trip go? How long did it take you to do it? Did you go solo or with a group?

[John Nelson]

I went in April. It was too cold and too wet, at least that year. It took 35 days to ride from Mobile to Owen Sound. If I did it again, I’d spread it out more, but we had time constraints. I normally tour alone, but I went with two friends this trip. There are advantages to each, but I would never want to tour with people that I didn’t know very well. Too many things can go wrong. If you do tour with strangers, make an agreement in advance that you can split up at any time with no hard feelings.

+1.  So many sources of potential friction.
