best tent for bike camping image
Janzen Har
Alright me and my two brothers wish to take a 4 day bike ride somewhere. Why four days? Why not xD. You see this is the last summer before I graduate and one of my brothers turns 18(the other one already is) I don't really care the place just somewhere that is a 4 day bike ride away from merced because its not the destination thats important but the journey and I want us to enjoy the memories. Were still planning everything but we need a destination xD
I myself have done about 10 miles in a day and my friend about the same. Were currently building our stamina and hopefully by the time we take this trip will be able to do 40-60 miles in a day or so without taking to many breaks. We want this trip to last either 4 or 8 days depending on how well we can convince our parents. As for way of staying were planning on camping out were currently looking at the prices of tents and stuff. Finally I believe our bikes though not the most expensive or best built can take this on. I hope this helps give you guys give me some good answers
Answer
Use Google maps. http://maps.google.com/ But first figure out how far you're capable of cycling in a day. What's the furthest you've been in a day so far? My bet is - it's 20 miles or less. You should be able to do 45 - 50 miles in a day if you want to really cover some ground. Takes training - lots of training.
Now...sleeping in motels or going camping? Motels? Take the American Express Card. Camping? Do you have the right type of bicycle to handle the extra burden of a tent, sleeping bag, extra clothes & other necessities? You'll need a "touring road bike". They start around a grand - $1,000.

What are some things to do while camping when its raining?
Kingocal
Going camping in the Sierra Nevadas. Going to rain for two of the four days. Bringing alot of games and DVD's anything else?
Answer
Wear rain gear and/or carry an umbrella and go hiking in the rain. Why stay stuck in a tent when cheap and lightweight gear is available to keep you dry and comfortable outdoors in the worst of conditions. With everyone else hiding in their tents you'll have the wilderness to yourself.
It rained every day of our backpacking trip to Hetch Hetchy in Yosemite NP last summer and my family and I stayed dry using just our umbrellas and our windbreaker jackets and these little Sierra Newts were all over the trail:

And from last fall until this spring there was rain almost every week around here and thanks to my Frogg Toggs rain suit I was able to go mountain biking every week on my day off, rain or shine.
