Bike trip in the near future...

I'm planning a bike trip.

I've found that if we save up, plan, and train by next summer, my son and I can travel by bike to a multitude of destinations.

My son doesn't know this yet...

He will be 13 years of age when we take this trip, hopefully south to Mexico. I have all sorts of destinations to consider before settling on south of the border, though...

Some of these include:

-All over the U.S. to see Yellowstone, the Grand Canyons, and Big Sur
-Making it all the way to Argentina
-The Canadian Rockies
-Making a route across the U.S. to see friends and family! This would include Maine, practically all of Vermont, Western New York State, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., South Carolina, Alabama, Colorado, Oregon, and even Vancouver, British Columbia



But, before I go, there will likely be some interim bike trips, training, and serious preparation. If anyone has experience on a long-distance bike trip, the right bike to take for the journey (including the right bike for a 12-13 year old boy), things not to miss, snacks that are a must, and health precautions, please share!

Thanks in advance and I look forward to your comments!
