>>1018197Yup, Greater Boston.
>>1018266I didn't set an alarm once. Basically:
-Wake up somewhere around sunrise. Starting before sunrise happened fairly frequently, although it got cold in some mornings (below freezing in NH/VT when I started, chilly at high elevations out west too)
-Eat, break camp, start pedaling
-Continue pedaling, stopping to acquire/consume food and water or occasionally to read while eating
-Depending on the area, start thinking about a place to sleep in the afternoon or evening. For example, in National Forest, where I can legally camp anywhere, I'd ride until around an hour before sunset. Out in the prairie, where the roads are surrounded by fences (pictured) I needed to base my stopping time on the last 'good' spot for camping I would reach before sunset. Some spots were better than others.
-Set up tent, cook, eat, do a little reading and journaling
-Hang food bag where bears won't get it
-Sleep
