Okay, so basically this summer a friend and I have a cross-country bike trip in the works. I figured I would stop by here and ask all you TD creatures..

If you were making this trip, are there any states you would avoid, and WHY?

I find that question to be a little childish, It's to broad a question with many reasons to avoid any state you ride through..

states with hills between you & your destination.......

Florida and Alabama have draconian pot laws, zero tolerance in many counties and forfeiture laws, just so you know. Mississippi decriminalized small amounts.

I had bad experiences with several drivers in AZ on a Grand Canyon to Mexico ride a few years back. But then again, a-holes exist everywhere so it could have been just a run of bad luck.

If you're riding west to east you should absolutely try to hit RAGBRAI. It's always the last full week of July. I can give lots more info on it if interested. It's truly amazing and would give a nice break to the normal solitary riding you'll experience on your trip.

Best of luck. I'm super jealous. I'm sure you'll have a blast and memories of a lifetime.

It would be pretty crummy if they took your bikes and made you walk. lol
