Hey guys,
We are two best friends, fairly experienced with biking over distance (we did a New York- Toronto) trip a year ago, and a bunch of smaller adventures.
We are finally doing cross-country this year, after two years of putting it off.
We are going to be on the road for three months, because we have the time and we figure we might as well take it slow if we can :)
We are starting out in New York, with the idea of ending up somewhere around San Francisco on the West Coast.

Our main question is about Nevada and Utah. Would you recommend avoiding those two states entirely and going North through Oregon or is there some route that people already took that took them through Utah and Nevada in one piece. Because from what we can see it's a pretty desolate landscape with little in terms of water replenishing on the way.

We are planning to camp mostly in the wild/campgrounds, so motels,etc is not a problem for us. Water, on the other hand, is. Any suggestions?

-Marika
