hi!
check out the touring section of this site as well. got your route planned yet? are you experienced tourer? going self contained or supported tour?
have a great coast to coast tour (check AdventureCycling.org for advice as well).
"welcome" !
ps: i have family in decator, athens, and over to elberton areas. it's been since 1978 since i've been down there. sure there are changes, but how is road bicycling there now?
