Mtalinm,
Cool geographic and bicycle perspective. Beats carrying a golf bag through airports and there are no greens fees. With biking, you can tip the starter by taking money out of one pocket and putting it in the other.
I biked across country as a youth with patch kit, sleeping bag and can of DintyMoore. I would do it again for the adventure and nomadic, carefree lifestyle. I have, in modern times, ridden shorter segments and decided a motel shower is nice, warm food and occasional soft bed tolerable. Faded memory and denial about age keeps me from understanding why I managed 30% fewer miles per day riding through Michigan a few years ago. Life seems more complex and by the time I get around to making the time, I may choose a less ambitious goal.
The more riding and more fit the more likely. Keep riding!
