Looks like the cross country cycling trip will start this Sunday!
Riding solo.
Essentially going to follow Hwy 20 across the US to Boston. If anyone would like to ride any segments with me let me know. What I've laid out calls for about 47 days of riding plus 8 days off the bike. There are some 60 mile days and some 100+ mile days.
My wife is driving our van so it's a supported ride. I was in great riding shape the end of June but haven't ridden that much since...I have plenty of base miles this year so I hope that's a realistic assumption and I'm not being too optimistic. Not any other choices at this point.
Somewhat concerned about weather in the NE in October but we'll see....

It's a plan. I hope to ride a lot between now and then, just not to slow you down (too much). By my calculation, August 14 + 47 days + 8 days = about Friday, October 7...sounds good. I may well be able to take a weekday off work to show you around if you and your wife would like, but I'll defer until I hear of your progress.
I likely will be out of town from about Oct 13 - 22.
