I got caught in a thunderstorm recently, and it got me thinking.. is it a bad idea to continue riding due to the chance of being struck by lightening? In a car there is a metal cage surrounding us, so it feels safer. On a bike, I felt very exposed:agave: Any input?

Has anyone rode down to Denver, CO from Toronto? I am considering riding down there this month, but am not sure how I should space out the travel days. Which one of these would be a better option: 3 days of 800km riding, or 2 days of 1200 kms riding?
