TransAmerica Trail

[Grey Ghost]

Stumbled onto this guys yt chan. He's a bit boring, etc...but, respect him for doing the trip on a 125cc.

Seems like a bucket list item that I would enjoy on a larger bike - 550cc or larger and more camping.

"The TransAmerica Trail is the cross-country adventure ride of a lifetime with mostly off-pavement travel. From scenic vistas and unique attractions to rough terrain and challenging conditions, the TAT presents every rider with the opportunity for an unforgettable journey and memories that will last a lifetime. Depending on the weather and location, riders may face challenges including mud, sand, snow, and rocks among others. As the trail is made up of dirt, gravel, forest, farm, and brief sections of paved roads, The TAT may be traversed using either a dual-sport motorcycle or a 4×4 vehicle."

That ride would take a month. I wouldn't attempt it.

Have done a bit of endurance riding. My longest ride was 26 states in 2 weeks. Longest non-stop 2400 miles in 48 hours... Longest off road on a dual sport in a day something like 125 miles. Forget about it

Dang, that looks like fun!

This would be my choice.

That would be quiet the adventure. Have not watched the video but I wonder about the logistics. I can see carrying a tent and emergency stuff but how about food and drink?

MRE type that only require hot water to make.

You do run into towns along the way for fuel, water resupply, etc..

Long distance riding is a lot like mountain climbing. Can be done safely but the planning and training must be meticulous and done in advance.

Go check out the site. The ride is set up so that you're in a hotel every night. Definitely want to have back-ups, but the guy that set this up looks to be pretty good at logistics.

Not a bucket list item for me.
