Biking

[TheCableVine]

I've been thinking about doing the TransAm next year. For those who don't want to follow the link it is a bicycle route that goes from one coast to the other.

I saw a guy today that was riding on the side of the road. He had packs front and back. I pulled over and talked to him. His name is Mark and he is from New Hampshire. We talked a bit about the trip and what I can expect. It should be fun. I'm looking forward to it.

If I am able to do the trip I'd like to meet up with as many people from the forum as I can.

More to come.

You go Steve. I wish you the best. That would be a nice ride as long as you do not have to go through a major city.

I doubt you'll be coming north of Minneapolis.. but, make sure you have a way to post a daily blog/photos.. would be interesting for us, plus would be a nice historical piece for yourself when done too.

If you follow the link in the original post you'll see a small map of the route. I understand the route is setup to keep you off of main roads and out of big cities.

It should be fun. There is a site called CrazyGuyOnABike.com that I'll be posting my journal on. It is full of completed and ongoing journals. I recommend anyone who has an interest in biking go there and read the journals of the people who have taken the trip and those that are doing it right now. The journals aren't limited to the single TransAm trail but instead include trips all over the world.

bike riding is a great hobby. you not only get great exercise, you get to see the country side plus you don´t hurt your feet and ankles, like running does some times.
