Tribal; you are a darn good photographer... with just a cell phone... daaaam. Publish your diary. Write a little with the photos and subsidize your adventures.
Hello.
I pushed it the first week to get over the Rocky Mountains before the temperature dropped.
I averaged 300 miles per day and was getting 30-32MPG @ 75MPH.
Once I got to Utah I bought a USA National Park Pass for US$80 and good for free admission for a year. Most parks are $25 for bikes and good for 1 week.
So now I have slowed my pace and seeing many places I missed over the years.
