Miami->San Francisco advices-experiences-companions

Hello my name is Matthias Kehl from Munich in Germany. I’m 29 years old and I’ll finish my study in December 2007. Before I go to school as a teacher, I would like to go on a big journey. I will cycle from 1.2.2008 to 23.5.2008 from Miami to San Francisco. At first I planed this tour with an old friend of mine. But now he opens his own shop and he have neither money nor time to do this adventure.
So now I’m searching for people who would like to attend me on this trip. I know that it is hard to find someone for all 4 months, so I’m searching also people which go along who me for a stage.
I’m a student and that’s why I don’t have so much money. I plan to sleep in my tent or by people who are members at hospitality club or couchsurvers. It’s important for me to spend much time in nature and I’d like to have much contact with locals. I would also like to make hiking tours in national parks.
So I don’t plan exact daily stages. It’s no problem for me to drive only 10 miles on one day and I also have no problem to go daily 100 miles during a week.
I just worked out the route with a very good German bicycleguidebook. You can find the route on https://bar.arcisheim.de/maps.html
If you are interested, let me know at matthiaskehl(ad)gmx.de

I’m also glad about everything whatever can help me.

Not sure how close you are to finalizing your route. You may want to look at the maps that Adventure Cycling Association has for sale. They have been doing cycle maps for years. They have good detail, are up to date, and printed on plasic coated paper.
