Ok, I don't know whether I should post this in excercise or traveling so I'll start here and if it doesn't get any traction will post over there.
I'd like to bike accross my state (the route I've chosen via streets and trips says 765 miles.
I've biked before but never more than 20 miles at a time. I'm in fairly good shape and work out (cardio&weights) almost every day. What do I need to do to get ready for this trip? Is 100 miles reasonable to expect per day?
I guess, if it matters, that the state is Texas and I'm thinking about doing it in early spring next year, or perhaps fall this year. Summer would be suicide, of course.
Thanks for the info.
