A ride too far?
Hi all,
Those of you who have read, or are reading my RTW blog will already know of the delays caused by 2 crashes in NFLD and NS, there are more delay to come in the next couple of chapters though. This is proving to be a hard journey, not at all like the ones I've read about.
Anyway I'm in the safe hands of a HU member in Red Deer, Alberta at the moment, planning my journey south into the USA.
Trouble is I need to be in Dallas for early October to meet my brother who is flying out from England to see me.
I do not want to miss the delights of Glacier NP, The Little Big Horn Monument, Yellowstone Park and a possible meeting with other HU members in Helena, following communications while I was planning my journey.
Seems to me my options are
1/ Get as far south as I can (Denver?), store the bike, then get a train (I like trains) to Dallas. Returning afterward to carry on my journey.
2/ Rent a car and drive to Dallas; I can only ride for about 5 hour a day on my bike before my shoulder begins to pain me, but a car should be ok for 12 hrs or more. Then return, pick up the bike and carry on my journey
3/ Rent a one way trip pick-up and drive down to Dallas with the bike on the back.
Trouble is, not knowing the availability of either storage for the bike, or rental options, I need some local input to let me know how easy these options are, or maybe other options that I haven't even thought about.
Any input would be most welcome.
