You can easily mix in some fabulous cycling along that route to break things up. We took 23 days for that trip and didn't feel rushed. Of course we could have spent twice that, but that time gave us the most memorable trip we've ever had.
Oh man. That would be an epic ride, I’ve always wanted to ride in those areas. Maybe after I retire. Oh wait!! Been retired for 6 years…It might just be the incentive I need to get back out there riding. I know my wife would love to do and SAG along. We’ve visited all those areas but seeing it from the saddle it so much better.
