We definitely planned and re-planned our trip since I am short on vacation time due to unforeseen circumstances over the last few years. None the less we decided on the West to East route so we would not have to worry about missing flights or shipping dates in case something happened. We figured if we were having fun out West that we could spend more time there and jump on the tarmac to get home more quickly if needed. Our bikes are in Portland now just waiting for us to arrive and start the adventure. We will try to post real time, of an evening, so that you can see what we are living day to day, what weather conditions we run into, and also the trail conditions/route. A SPOT link will be posted in the first post before we leave Thursday. After talking to many TAT riders we decided not to camp on this trip. That way we could spend more time each day riding and not unpacking and repacking.....besides who doesn't like A/C and a big comfy bed. The other side benefit is that our bikes are lighter and more maneuverable which should make some of the trickier sections a bit easier.
We will have lot of pictures between all the cameras and the GoPro set to take pictures every minute. We have found that we just don't have the time to edit video and make something nice so we just stick to cameras.
