2) what kind of nutrition would be the best for me to bring on the trip (staying in a tent 2-3 nights)??
4) how often should i train a week??
5) how long before the trip should i start training??
6) should i take training really easy about a week before the trip so that im not tired on the first day of the journey??
7) and if you would like to make suggestions i am open and listening (which isnt actually a question...)
Well, it depends a lot on your experience level. Riding 50-80 miles per day - especially carrying camping gear - is quite a bit of a ride.
If I were doing this, I'd want to be in the shape where I could ride a century pretty easily.
