Whenever we meet cool new people as we are oft to do, we run in to mostly the same questions. The conversations usually end with "sorry I'm asking sooo many stupid questions". Don't feel bad, the questions aren't stupid...they're just annoying to answer a thousand times.
Q:Where do you sleep?
A: As awesomeness enthusiasts we tend to guerilla camp wherever we feel safe. Once, I asked a cop where a good place was. Sometimes there are hostels/churches that are willing to take us in.
Q: What do you do if it rains?
A: We get wet. So far not much rain, but we have waterproof bags to keep our stuff dry and rain jackets to keep some of our body dry. Our tents have rain covers too. We'll probably ride through whatever won't kill us.
Q: How do you eat?
A: Like regular folks kinda. For lunch we usually eat at some small back country restaurant/food stand. A good go-to is peanut butter and jelly on tortillas. We try not to carry a lot of food on us so we usually get dinner stuffs at a grocery store close to where we want to camp.
Q: Sanitation?
A: Showers are pretty awesome, but we aren't always priviliged. Creeks and rivers have proven great places to wash most of the sweat and grime off. Public restroom are also pretty good for sink showers and other bathroom purposes... yes we do go outdoors if we have to.
Q: How far do you ride a day?
A: We usually shoot for around 75 miles. If there are particular places we want to stop, we divide our miles accordingly.
There are some more, but I'll post them later
