No problem, Jenifer. Apologies for the delayed response. If you are planning or have already left on your trip, I wish you the best! Most towns will have something that you actually need for a cycling tour. Fortunately with cycle travel, we are ON the beaten path and most needs can be met to a certain degree within a day or two ride.
