>>1864713I had the 12 map set of the Trans-America route. I did about 2/3s of the trail, and 1/3d my own route. Those maps and that route are absolutely amazing. There are so many great places and people hosting cyclists. Also warmshowers is king. But really I loved the solitude and camping so much. Two girls offered to sleep with me for free, and I was also offered mushrooms, and lots of beer and weed. I'm not a degenerate though; just thought it was interesting that some people are impressed by the mundane. I didn't have a bike computer, but I think that would be nice. I used a SHIMANO Dynamo DH-3N72 Generator Hub, and a Sinewave rectifier. It works, but not as well as I had hoped. I would usually charge phone and lights where there was an outlet somewhere.
