You!
It's your muscles that run this operation. How do you prepare?

Let's start with the most important factor first, you.

People are very complex individuals and what works for one person may not work for another.

I think it is safe to break people down into two parts when considering a bicycle tour.

When a person tours it requires mental and physical strength. Most people are surprised to hear that mental strength is usually considered to be the most important quality.

(For those feeling a bit misled by the headline of this page please consider that the brain is indeed a muscle too. When bicycle touring I think it's the most important one even if it isn't the most obvious one during the first few days of a tour).

The pages that follow will discuss the physical and mental aspects of touring in greater detail.
