Hey Touring Folks,
I'm going to be riding from Los Angeles, CA to Washington DC by January 20th, 2009 when Obama will be inaugurated.

I need advice, suggestions for how to cross the country in Dec/Jan, equipment advice, practical advice, logistics, time tables, maps, etc!

I've never done any serious touring before, this is my first time ever even dreaming about something like this. I am a daily rider, fit, a collegiate athlete and 22 yrs old. Here's more about my plan www.bikeforbarack.blogspot.com

Thanks for all the support/help to come!
