Also, our plan is to ride to Vancouver in the 40 days as of right now, do yall think finishing in denver, Colorado would be a pretty cool trip if we took around 20-25 days for that? (just trying to cut down miles if possible since none of us have ever really made a long trip like this)

We wanna raise money for IMOutreach.com, but also do something thats practical since we anticipate we will be getting donations/sponsors etc...

one last thing (for the time being haha), what equipment is a must for us to carry? I know some clothes, bike parts, tents, water and the basics, but is there stuff that you have to bring that a beginner wouldn't think about? Anything and all is appreciated!
