OK OK am hearing you. Was thinking of december to co-inside with my 40th birth day. So probably then will have to think about bringing it forward and doing something else. Or then starting in spring summer. Thanks for your advice so far though will definately take it on board. Has anyone heard of reputable bike hire companies. Or recommending places to defineately fit in to itinary? Will look at the I-10 corridor then. The well know tourist spots i know of but is there any recomendations of the beaten track?
