Let's start with this one ... your question #4.
What kind of cycling do you do now? What's the longest distance you've ridden recently? What are the longest distances you've ridden back-to-back recently?
Do you feel comfortable riding 100 miles, camping overnight "wherever" (as you say), and then riding 100 miles back?
I am 23 and in good overall shape. I swam competitively for 8 years and played waterpolo competitively in high school and college for 6 years. The longest I have ever ridden in one day was about 60 miles. Never have a really rode back to back long distance, to be honest i haven't cycled in 1 year besides the weekly spin class at my gym ha. I don't want to get burned out, but the struggle is half of the fun. I feel comfortable sleeping anywhere, I am very low maintenance when it comes to that. What scares me is the mechanics of the bike. I feel fairly competent when it comes to the basic components to the bike, but what i really don't want, is a rim twisting or some carbon piece snapping.
thanks for the reply btw
so friendly here
