going on a massive bike ride.
i want to go on a crazy long bike ride soon, with in the next 2 months.
its an idea ive had since last year and i really really want to do it now. I am really wanting to go down to mexico or farther down even. I live in nebraska right now and im a 17 year old guy who thinks he might be fit enough to handle it. Last summer at least 3 times a week i would go on 10 mile or longer rides. And those seemed easy pretty quickly. But i have a buncha questions for anyone who would be kind enough to help me out. How much training should i do before i actually do it, like how long of rides should i be able to do easily before i could do a 1000 mile ride. Doing maybe 50 miles aday? is that too much or what would be an idea amount per day. Where could i find out a route i could take to go? I saw a that on google maps they have a beta bike route thing, which i guess might help out a lot. What do you think the amount of money i would need would be? I dont have a job and i dont have all that much money. I was planning on selling a ton of stuff i dont use on craigslist. (xbox, gamecube, tons of games, tv's, video camera, keyboard, old bikes, and i have tons of random shit all over my house that is worth selling) I am looking for a single person tent at the moment, because i know that would be the easiest place to sleep in. OH YEAH, one of the most important things, how do i leave the country? ive never left the country and i dont know a single thing about it, what would i have to do? would it cost money?
i have more questions, so i people respond to this i will ask more lol.
Also if anyone would like to join me by chance along the way, i wouldnt mind the company.
