Yeah I've ridden over 10k mile this last year. So I feel completely at home on a bike, and know how to ride steep incline's and strong headwinds (Spin it out)! I can still the sights it seems at 13 15 mph average. I average 20 mph on my daily commute with my handlebar bag and my rear panniers on. But its over familiar grounds. I know others have ridden the TA from yorktown to Oregon and I'm trying to get a idea on what I'm gonna face, and how others have handled it! Plus I was at work and wanted to talk cycling and everyone at work is tired of hearing me talk about it! I get my TA map set next week so I can start planning it out even better. I do thank all of you for your responses and will be definitely taking it all into account!
Thanks for your time and advice all!

My Bike,
