Well I've been contemplating on doing this for a long time. Yesterday I finally bit the bullet and went and got mostly everything I could think I'd need. I decided to take a bicycle tour solo across quite a few states.
I've talked with a lot of state trooper headquarters to find out laws of riding on the shoulder/same laws as driving a motor vehicle etc. Most states from here west have nothing serious. Oklahoma cant ride turnpikes but no biggie. Starting in MO....
Can't say i'm not excited, but nervous or cautious is definitely there. My biggest concern is the country 2 lane highways with no shoulder.(Which is literally the beginning so I hope it doesnt ruin the whole thing.)
My other fear is getting robbed. I have a custom sig .40 cal and a .38 special. But something keeps eating at me saying dont bring it like if I do, the worst will happen as expected. So I went and bought a nice lightweight quickdraw knife.
The only other fear is I will be going South through Oklahoma into New Mexico. First city I've never been in is Roswell and on a bike...at night....so kinda erie.
I will be taking lots of pics including night with an slr camera. Everyone that knows me, knows i like taking a lot of scenery pics. (From other posts)
If anyone has done anything like this and has any tips or anything cool to see please let me know. I'm headed out.
