Preparing for a bicycle trip
A safe place to start - MOVE TO PLAN PAGE
Get a sense of what riding 10 to 20 miles feels like either locally or on a segment of the Mississippi River Trail or North Star Route. Use a local off-road trail and compare that with your ability to ride with vehicular traffic. A safe place to start would be to bicycle on paths or trails in your local areas or some of the off-road North Star Route or MRT segments.
