| Feb 28, 2017 at 21:56 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | @LucineGaribian Solo means being self sufficient with spares and supplies. Even if you're card/cash camping or crashing with friends enroute, you will have to have everything you need AND backuup/contingency plans. | |

| Feb 28, 2017 at 15:30 | comment | added | Lucine Garibian | And @andy256 That's great to hear! haha And I'm planning for this trip to take a little under 20 days. The route that I'm sort of planning is relatively flat-and only gets really high elevation (1000 feet) in the last leg of the trip. Which I'm hoping I'll be well conditioned by then. | |
| Feb 28, 2017 at 15:30 | comment | added | Lucine Garibian | @Criggie I am doing this solo, so far. Some friends have expressed interest but since they haven't confirmed I'm planning on doing this alone! | |
| Feb 28, 2017 at 12:10 | comment | added | andy256 | How many days will this 700 km take? You can certainly do it. I've seen grandmothers do longer rides :-) | |
| Feb 28, 2017 at 1:24 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | Are you doing this solo or as part of a group? Theres a lot more resources if you're with someone else. | |

| Feb 27, 2017 at 20:59 | comment | added | Lucine Garibian | THanks for your response @gschenk! I'll be looking at doing more long distance trips to test my bike-thanks for your support and not shutting down a beginners dreams in touring! | |
| Feb 27, 2017 at 20:47 | comment | added | gschenk | Your bike may or may not be reliable enough for such a tour. A short web search shows a price of about 200 to 300 pounds. Often such bikes are not very well built. The good side: You also need a lot of practice riding before you are ready for such a trip. Ride your bike hard while training and find out if it fails or is up to the task. Try to fix things yourself first, that way you learn the necessary repair skills for bike touring. | |
