Day 1 and 2 completely awesome!! Day 3 I’m held up at my buddies house in Escanaba, Michigan to ride out the “storm threats” hasn’t been much more than a drizzle today thus far.
Hopefully be in Wisconsin by tomorrow or the next day.
Hello all. Going on a long bike tour from UP of Michigan to Oregon.
Highly considering ordering a Garmin Inreach with member discount sale thing going on. Looks like I’ll have till the 25th for the sale/discount? My nearest REI is like 400 miles away so I’m wondering if anyone knows how long an REI store will hold an item for pickup?
Ignore the horribly drawn “route” line from UP of Michigan to Missouri. I got a fat finger and no stylus.
Full of excitement and nervousness as this will be my longest tour over 4 days 😂
Hit a window of perfect opportunity in my life for a long tour in my young adulthood and decided to just go for it.
Originally was going to do Marquette Michigan to Denver but I’m not sure if I trust Komoot routes there was quite a bit of highways. Now my route from UP to Missouri will be quite a few rail trails from the looks of it.
Not sure if I’ll make it all the way to the coast, but I’ll be happy to cross a few states off on my 50 state bucket list.
Planning on biking to Denver from Michigan. Was gonna do the Katy trail across Missouri but half tempted to go further south and jump on the golden gravel trail. Looks like a blast
Hello all. I’m going on a bicycle tour from the UP to Colorado starting in about two weeks. Madison is my first “larger population area” and I was wondering if anyone has pointers on state land south or north of Madison. Or an off the path park or such?
Trying to make it the whole way without paying for a hotel/campsite.
Thanks in advance
