"Boy, with the way the price of gas going, what better way to see our lovely nation that to ride your bike across it. I'm Mookie from Gregg's and we're going to talk about how to train for a bike tour. When you're just starting off with your training the best thing you can do is just ride your bike as much as possible. You want to log what we call base miles, which just means going out for a ride, you don't need to be worried about how long, how far, just the more you're on your bike the better. Once you get a sufficient amount of base miles, I would really recommend putting your rack on the bike, loading yourself down with all of your luggage, and getting some base miles with your bike fully loaded down, because when your bike has sixty extra pounds of gear on it, it's going to be a lot harder to ride around than when it's just normal. Once you get used to riding your bike with it all loaded down with gear, the best thing you can do is just go on an overnighter or a two nighter, and get used to being out on the road, setting up camp, waking up in a tent, and getting on the bike again. Once you get your base miles, and then your loaded down base miles, and a few overnighters, you're ready to hit the road. I'm Mookie from Gregg's and these have been some tips on how to train for a bike tour."
