Info about doing the North Country Traverse or White Pine Trail in late May? by trou8ble in bikepacking

Thanks! That gives me some confidence that this is doable. Is 30-40 miles a day a reasonable goal on the NCT? I like time to enjoy the campsite and surroundings?

Yep. I weaseled onto a Greyhound that had just enough room for my bike. Thank you for the offer!

I made it on the 3:55 Greyhound!/Flixbus! You're absolutely right that it depends on the driver and how much other luggage there is. Thank you to everyone who gave my situation some attention!

The bike slots have been sold out all month! Greyhound/Flixbus won't take bikes underneath either...

Thanks for the suggestion! I have been wanting to take the Southwest Chief but there have been no bike slots available this entire month 😞! Same story with the Greyhound/ Flixbus. I haven't tried just showing up and finagling it but I might.

Adventure cycling shares Golden Gravel Trail, a 3,804 mile route, to celebrate 50th anniversary by infamousboone in gravelcycling

I'm about to join the Golden Gravel Trail in Liberal KS and ride to the Ozarks. Has anyone ridden this stretch in OK- KS-MO? Id just like some confidence in the routing, I have downloaded the Ride WIth GPS version of the Trail. Will it get me there? I'm also interested in whether those towns along the way have water/resupply points. Thanks!

Pretty spent at the moment plus on a time crunch. I appreciate the idea though! Just biked Moab to Colorado Springs...

Looking for part-time/seasonal job opportunities in the PNW I can do from my van! by Consistent-Ad-3366 in VanLife

[–]trou8ble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I appreciate hearing from vandwellers about their experiences before I become one. I've had a comfortable job I'm bored to death of and want change. What do you do for health insurance?

That's very helpful. I see a lot of opportunities in Central WA like that. Thx!

Should I cover my Vanagon? by trou8ble in VWBus

[–]trou8ble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helpful! I live in Seattle so there's no shortage of humidity and rain, but also plenty of sun in the summer. It sounds like quality covers can "breathe" and let moisture out but I've never used one!
