Bike touring doesn’t require weeks or months off. While I have taken months and weeks off to tour, the majority of my tours have been three day affairs. Just did another three-day trip starting this past Wednesday.
When I took an extended break from the working world, health insurance was a major concern. A few minutes ago I was looking at the scar on my palm that resulted from three stitches I got in Cut Bank, MT, during my cross country tour. Glad I was able to extend my coverage through COBRA. I also did (and still do) have a mechanical heart valve and thus have to take blood thinners. Thankful for my good insurance through work.
