Now if you get a tail wind, that's a different story. You are correct, there is an occasional bus just in case. I didn't encounter any in the Interior, but since you're sticking to the Ring, it's a moot point. You'll be able to find food every day on the Ring, albeit you might be eating gas station food in the afternoons. Just based on reading this thread, you seem to have plan this trip meticulously.

I'm probably a bit too meticulous, but planning a trip is all part of the fun. The wind is what worries me most, but I have some nice low gears and I'm filling my iPhone with lots of listening material as I think I'll have some long days in the saddle. One good thing is I'll have plenty of daylight.
