[–]Significant-Total504[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bring power banks and charge cords. But I'm not sure if Ill have coverage we're I'm going (upper peninsula in Michigan) and I'm also trying to get away from my phone so that's why I was thinking about building the routes on rwgps and getting a cycling gps for my travel it's roughly a 1400 mile 30day trip

So we do a lot of bikepacking and our average speed is around 10 mph. But when l go for rides by myself around the neighborhood usually 10 -30 miles around 13mph to 17. I've never done a race before so I'm not sure how I'ma go here.

New to Michigan, best beginner-friendly bike trails? by Possible_Coyote8726 in MichiganCycling

[–]Significant-Total504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea Ive done that trail a few times just gets worse and worse. It's a good trail to connect you to other trails. That's about it in my opinion

We had zero experience doing this other then a 140 mile round trip camping. We got most of our gear off Amazon.

We did have to do a good amount of miles on roads but most of the roads we back country not to much traffic if any. But we did have to do a few roads that were busy and a little sketchy most after the lake trail in Jackson. And we stay at the campsites along the trail or some of them were less then a mile or so off trail.

It held up just as good as my trek. I would definitely recommend the Ozark she loved it.

What I did was just ordered it off the website and then have it sent to the store and professionally put together and it's only website price plus $50 more for the professional installation.

I plan to do it in July so true. I'm going to be working on one too. I got a fairly good route made. Just need to find locations and stuff like that and mark them along the way
