Philadelphia to Los Angeles
I want to ride across USA next year and I want to find one or multiple companions. I'm a 20 y/o college student who avidly cycles and will probably be doing some racing soon. I have the summer to do the trip, so that's June to September. I plan to make the route based on what any partners would prefer. As long as it's coast to coast, I'm happy. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it all the same. I'll match my partners pace (I'm pretty confident in my strength) but prefer to do the standard 50-100 miles a day.
If anyone is interested in a coast to coast tour for next year, send me a message or post here.

Cool idea!
I plan on doing a West to East TransAm in the summer of 2012, and I have the route and everything set up with Tour d'Afrique. Full Disclosure: They have a program where if enough people sign up to do the trip, I get to go for free as the creator of the trip.
The Fine Print: We'll be starting May 1, so we'll have plenty of time to cross the country in nice weather, and we'll have light support from the company as well! They will be bringing along some sammiches and breakfast, and providing mechanical support.

We'll be seeing you going the other direction. We're leaving Yorktown on 4 May. We're unsupported though, so I'm sure we'll be a bit slower.

I too like the idea of companion(s) sub-site here at BF. I have been exploring xUSA tour myself and am planning late Summer/early Fall 2011 start date, Southern Tier.
I am watching AdvCycling and CrazyGuy sites looking for options, planing to post my own invite.
I think that a "sub-site" in this Touring section of BF is needed to assist communication on this subject!
Thanks for the post!
