Okay, I've ridden thousands of miles over the past few years, and love riding when I can. My teenage daughter has suggested we set a goal of a Pacific to Atlantic ride, perhaps even next summer (being a teacher, this works for me).

Can a seasoned cyclist tell me: Where does one sleep? Are there really hotels every 80-150 miles apart, even in the Rockies? Or am I missing something?

Thanks.

ride unsuported (bring camping supplies) it is so much more fun and rewarding to do it that way. plus it makes it easier in a sense, you just stop whenever you get tired and pop up a tent. allthough this is not for everyone I highly recomend you think about it, there are many campsites to stay at on the way.

As interesting as this sounds (let's face it, it's cheap and probably lots of fun, all for the "cost" of carrying a tent and sleeping bag), I would really like to know where the experienced cross country riders stay.

Is it logical to assume there will be a hotel / motel / hostle / B&B every 75-100 miles? Is there a place to look this up and make reservations a day or so in advance?
