Time to get started with the adventure already!
Launching May 1: 70 Days AcrossUS by Bike
This is a bike trip from American coast to coast. I’ll depart from Easthampton, Massachusetts, on Saturday, May 1 (7 a.m., he says optimistically), and touch water (maybe plunge in…?) of the Atlantic Ocean (Long Island Sound) at the coast of Connecticut, Day 1. Then, if all goes according to plan, I’ll arrive in Long Beach (L.A.), California, somewhere around July 12 and touch the water of the Pacific. Is that 70 days? Close to it anyway.
Along the way, I’ll post my progress here, and keep you informed about the (literal) ups and downs, the high and low points, the agony, the ecstasy and everything in between. At times, I’ll laugh (I hope), I’ll cry (for sure), and I’ll share my experiences and images with you.
I hope to hear from you on my trip. In fact, I’m counting on it. As a solo adventurer, things can get rather lonely. I’ll need your comments and questions to keep me company, so let me know what you’re thinking in the comments.
See you on the road!
