My first thread on here to call my own, and it's kinda roadie related.
Anyway, I live in East Tennessee and am going to DC for my girlfriends birthday late next week. It's 420 miles staying off the interstate, and I was thinking about riding it. Do you guys think I could do it in three days (140 mi/day)? I know that's a lot but I will have all day to do it, with breaks whenever I feel like it for food, stretching, etc.
I will be travelling light (one camelback backpack) and am in pretty good shape. I don't race or anything but I do ride both road and mountain quite a bit. Am I biting off more than I can chew. I figure the cost of a motel two nights (one way) would equal the cost of gas in driving up there, so there's really no money to be saved.
I think it would be a fun trip, but am I biting off more than I can chew? If any other information is pertinent just ask and I will post it up.
