I’m flexible on the route and timing—I’d prefer riding east to west, but I’m happy to adapt based on what works best for the group. There’s no pressure to stick with the group the whole time; everyone is welcome to ride at their own pace, whether you like to cruise or go full speed. If you’re only available for part of the trail, that’s great too!
I won’t have a support vehicle, but if you want to bring one along, that’s totally fine—I’m happy to coordinate around that. The most important thing is staying safe.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, let’s chat and start planning! I’d love to share the adventure with fellow riders and make some amazing memories along the way.
Best,
Bobby
Sounds like it's going to be a blast Bob! Enjoy every minute of it, time flies but memories last for a long time. You are going to see just how beautiful America and its people are! In 2022/23 I did a solo perimeter tour of the US. 10,520- miles, 323-days, and 400,000 feet of climbing, on a 1x gravel bike sporting 650b wheels. Going solo was the best decision I made. I was on my schedule and relied on no one but me. I learned more in that time than any other period of my life. Don't worry, you'll find other riders along the way. I rode with people from Germany, Belgium, France, England, and of course Americans along the way and we had a blast. I'm doing a quick 1,000-mile New England loop the first week of June, then another 10,000-mile interior US ride next year. I like going solo but I also like some company here and there. Good luck and keep pedaling!
Man, I miss Montana.
