Can we clarify the starting rules? Do we know that Doom Is Coming, and can therefore spend some time getting the perfect steed together?
If so, I'm shifting to a custom trike with massive penny-farthing sized wheels. Plenty of carrying space for supplies, transmission will be set up to utilise car fan belts (which google informs me are pretty long), and my big wheels will reduce the risk of damage from the dodgy road surfaces.
I admit that the rims are vulnerable, but I reckon they'd last longer than me going at a pretty slow pace. As said above, slow and steady is the key.
