Trans America Journey

In 2017 I trekked to Everest Base Camp then put on 30kgs (66lbs). In 2019 I lost 30kgs (66lbs) and trekked up Mount Kilimanjaro. In 2021 I've put on 20kgs (44lbs) and need a new adventure plus a reason to lose weight/get fitter.

I bought a bike in 2020 and average 60 miles a week, I go at my own pace as I live in Middle East and it's kinda tough in 105F.

I've looked at many YouTube tours (preparations, planning & trips) and concluded that I could do trans America but it may take me 3 months but as I'm retired, time is no constraint. If I can average 50 miles a day cycling and 30 days R&R that should get me SF to NY in just over 90 days. Does that sound achievable? My thinking is that my fitness and weight will improve as I go along? Seems like the worst part is the start SF - Denver (1/3 of journey).

Does anyone have any website references for this journey which maximises a flat route, sight seeing or advice on the journey? Does SF-NY make sense as to prevailing winds?

Thanks for any help.
