T-Minus 23 days (approximately)
The route is set, the destination known. In less than four weeks Joseph Martin, Ryan Quinn and myself, the ever adventurous (and modest) Will Sankey will all head off from Yorktown Virginia towards the West Coast via touring bike.
The trip will last about 80 days and will cover a swathe of states encompassing what I assume to be the "Real America." With some luck we'll learn a thing or two about our own limits, about the size of the country, how to complete some predetermined goals, and maybe even make some friends along the way.
We've acquired the gear, we've acquired the maps, and soon we'll acquire some muscle and grit. I'll be here giving updates on our progress, what we're eating, where we're sleeping and what we make of this country.
I'd like to thank my family and friends for support and inspiration, nothing ever happens in a vacuum.
