I tried to thru hike the Appalachian Trail but cut my knee and had to stop. I did about 200 miles of it.

I did quite a few miles as a boy scout of the AT in Georgia. Our troop would go up there each summer and hike a different section.
I've been planning to do a through hike for the lat 3 years. I was supposed to do it last summer then stuff happened so I didn't. I was getting my self ready all that year had been doing 10+ mile hikes every weekend and a few miles each day. I then planned to do it this coming summer but stuff happened and I'm not..
I do plan it, but at this point I can't say if it will be next summer or not.. I'd like to do the PCT as well but I haven't even made it to Cali in my van yet.. I keep getting stuck in Colorado..
As a cop out I was thinking of doing the Colorado Trail this summer, it's 500 miles. On the flip side I've been getting a bit more into mountain biking and have toyed with the idea of doing something from that aspect instead. Like some cross country touring or something.
As far as the cycling a longer term plan is to head to Europe and cycle tour around there. My problem is I'm always wanting to do something new so other stuff gets moved ahead.
