Pacific to Atlantic stories

Do you know of people who have ridden from one USA coast to the other and have published their story on the Internet? I'd like to read these travelogues as I'm thinking of doing the same. I'd also like to publish links to those stories in one big list so others could benefit.

There is a substantial list of these rides at: https://www.adventurecycling.org/ride...y/journals.cfm

Just page down to the Trans American Trail section and there are a bunch there for your review.

In addition to the Trans American Trail there are many other rides to browse as well.

Cheers
Gus

As part of my world cycling webpage, I have alot of pics from my X-country tours in the USA. IN fact I will be doing a trip across the USA this summer for the first time in years. Enjoy the photos and stories.

Going A to P or P to A, stay on my couch!

If anyone is doing it, I'll lend you a couch. For a night or two. Plus I have a rack and an (not really) ultimate set of tools.

What is in it for me? What is in it for you (besides the couch and a shower etc)?

No one really ever comes through Chicago, and I love riding in this town. I'd love to escort you through and shoot the breeze. If you are coming through, shoot me an email.

I can also get you a camp spot ~120 east of Chicago, in Elkhart, IN.
