I'd love to chat with anybody that would be interested in helping me out with this decision thanks a lot love to hear from you.
I guess the challenge is what makes a cross country ride fun. Are you single at 46 how do you find the time? I've always wanted to do this but probably will never get the chance as it simply takes too much time. I say go for it if you can!
If we are talking credit card touring where you will just cycle from hotel to hotel, that shouldn't be so difficult. I think it's the camping and having to stock up and haul food / water is where the real challenge lies.
