My first tour (Cycle North Carolina) a few years ago was a one week long supported tour, and my friend Bill and myself did it on trikes. I was riding a Catrike trail, and he an ICE trike. I was working 50 hours a week, so we trained on weekends, longer and longer rides until we were sure we could ride 75-80 miles in a day and get up and do it again the next day. I also trained with a loaded trailer hooked to the back of the trike, to add resistance. What we weren't able to train for was days and days of hills! We live in South Florida where there are no hills, and the first four days of the CNC tour was mountains and then hills as we worked our way down to the coastal plain. It was a lot of fun, and I look forward to doing it again so time when I have vacation built up for a trip like that.
