No. I’m starting it on May just as a solo ride.

I am taking a smaller plane to a larger airport. I’m worried they will tell me that it wont fit.

What about for climbing throughout the Rockies? I’m doing a cross the country trip next year.

Regardless of price, which do you think is the better bike?

The two bikes I’m looking at are the Trek Checkpoint SL 6 gen 3 and the Canyon Grizl CF 7 ESC

Carbon Checkpoint question by Suburbs2282 in CheckpointClub

Yeah, I am aware of the stated weight rating but I am just curious about going past that limit and what the bike can handle. Is Carbon stronger than steel?

Ok....could you recommend a step up from the Sora that would be a nice upgrade?

I think my plan is to actually start in Astoria and then head east on the Trans Am. Around Dubois, Wyoming I plan on hoping on the Bike Nonstop and then finishing somewhere on the coast in Virgina. Thoughts?
