How I Plan My Cycling Trips, from A to Z
There's a lot to this thing! You can't just hop in the car and go... Well, I guess you could, but I think you'll experience better results with a little planning - the kind of planning born of experience! So you want to travel to greenways, river walks and rail trails... How many trails are out there? How do you find these trails? How do you get accurate information on the front end? Should you call ahead to book a room? These are the problems that keep people up at night. Get answers to these questions and several more in this A-to-Z guide to bike trail trip planning...Joyful Trails style!
Here's why you should always call ahead if you plan to keep your bike in your hotel room:

    Thank you again Scott for your channel, it’s the best on the Planet. We rode 5 of your trail reviews last year. We already have Jekyll Island and Virginia High Bridge planned so far. My wife asks please focus more on sounding food recommendations. She loves her little rewards mid journey or at the end. That’s why the SRT is so good with all of the food and drink spots and great places to just stop and people watch and talk to fellow riders. We’ve met so many great people on the trail….But I digress. Be Good.

    My husband yelled from the other room, "There's a new Joyful Trails video!" Great video, Scott! Thank you for all the trail map apps, recommended "Tubers" that have bike trail content, and how you make the decision of which "Trail to Ride". Most of all, thanks for all the hard work you put into making these videos for our enjoyment, trail info, and the towns you visit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

      You're welcome! Yeah, I swear by AllTrails. They should sponsor my videos or something... 😉

    Gettin an e bike in your future may be an issue because most hotels don't want e bikes in their rooms due to the fire issues.

      Oh, no! I'll just have to go rogue and sneak it in thru a side door or something... If I get arrested, will you bail me out?
