I plan to ride from SF to Milwaukee using the Western Express from SF to eastern NV (but then going N. to pick up US 40 through Colorado to Granby.) I plan to follow the Platte river from Longmont to Iowa but haven't figgured out a good route across Iowa and WI. I plan to leave SF on 6/1, layover in Longmont a few days and arrive in Milwaukee by 7/3. Plan to do it credit card style. Concerned about services, heat, roads, etc.

What other routes from coast to the Midwest would you recommend? Thanks for the help.
