Awesome, thanks for the input guys(or gals), yeah, 70-80 miles a day is a lot, especially if we get behind schedule and have to make up time etc... and as of right now, I think we are gonna get a bike trailer and switch off "towing" it along the way. (good, bad idea?). I have the map drawn out that I could take a picture of and post on here so yall could give me some pointers on that as well.

As for the training, I'm a lifter/runner (21 years old) as of right now so what kind of conditioning would be best for this type of ride do yall think? Sorry if these questions seem amateur but I am honestly new to the bike scene.

My biggest concern as of right now is how our bodies will feel after the...first week or so? I've never really done any cardio for 2-3+ hours multiple days in a row, so I am just worried about the soreness/aching after the first couple of days. (If any at all?)

Thanks guys!
