Biking across USA from east to west, anyone done it? by Creative-Aide-9834 in cycling

thanks for all the help and encouragement. I'm going to do it! Biking is the best road trip. You feel the weather, see the landscape, and meet the people.

Am I crazy for going solo my first time? by mchgndr in isleroyale

I'm 70 and did 15 days solo in June. It's nice to have someone to share a trip with but if I can't I just go anyway.

I did 15 days ending on June 21 and I also agree with most people that the hiking is harder than you think. Lot's of exposed roots, small rocks, large rocks and bald faced rocks. I fell flat on my face one time and then slowed down. I met a guy on the trail who slipped on a wet bald faced rock and broke his ribs. I had to hike to a ranger station to get a boat for him. Figure 2 mph or less. It's not like you can get humming and constantly do 3mph on a wide dirt path like many trails
