Maybe only do 30 miles or so a day for the first week or two. I've thought about a ride to the Gulf, but that's at least 500 miles, east coast even farther. In a worst case scenario, I told my wife I might call her after a couple of weeks, to come and get me, if things got bad. She's ok with that. But I don't see that happening.
