Hi,

I am doing the Yorktown to Astoria transam next summer and am kicking around the possibility of a ride partner(s).

Anyone interested?

Me:
30 year old male

I want to do 50+ miles/day and I am scheduling 90 days for the trek. If it takes shorter I may keep biking around up to Seattle or maybe down to SF.

Probably leaving Yorktown early May.

feel free to email me

We're hoping to do the trip from the other direction (considering from east to west though, the logistics may be better from that direction for us) in 2004. A May start with 90 days allocated. Self supported, mostly camping, pulling a BOB trailer on the back of a tandem.

Thinking about the Transam for next year too. Last two tours i went solo might like some company for a part of the trip are you planning to camp? or stay inside? my usually method is to camp most nights and hostiles when available akong with a cheep motel occasionally.

i normally like to get arround 60 to 80 miles a day of course it depends on the terraine and wind. oh yea im 50

my plan is to reach the coast then ride down to L A again id be looking to time the ride to reach the coast after labor day
