Adventure Cycling Association Southern Tier

[marciero]

I've used ACA routes for planning- we did a Texas Hill Country tour a few years ago based in part on an ACA route. Am considering the Souther Tier section 1 from San Diego to Tempe. If you have done this would you care to share thoughts? I actually bought the ACA RWGPS "Experiences" route ~$12 to review. I am seeing a lot of numbered roads, things like "Highway" this or that, "Exit 11", etc on the cue sheet, and some really long stretches on some roads. For my trip its between this or bike packing, probably in mountains in southern AZ, so totally opposite.

You might check out this cyclist on ACAs Souther Tier now. You can contact the rider directly by clicking on the envelope icon. This, and other journals on the crazyguyonabike website, may be helpful.

Have a great trip.

I don't have any insights into that particular route, but as a general rule of thumb, it's really hard to go long distances in California without having to suffer through highway riding.
