That sounds like a bad ass idea. Ive actually thought about doing that a lot for some reason, it'd just be nice to see the country like that. What are you doing for money though? I say backpack it and live off of the land OII Shit i forgot, i'd definitely bring an mp3 player loaded up with stuff. It's nice to see the sites and take it all in, but some long roads and stuff will become a pain without some beats
Right now im planning on starting on the west coast to get the hardest terrain over with first. Plus, Ill have the prevailing wind at my back. I want to end in South Port, NC. I haven't picked a route yet I still have a lot of time to plan for it. Im hoping for about a 45 day trek. I don't think conditioning will be a problem I've completed 50 mile rides many times. I think a year of planning and living frugally to save money (I'm estimating I'll need anywhere from $2000-$4000 for the trip) will be enough time. I'm planning on making a website for friends to follow the trip. Ill probably try to upload pictures everyday. As of now I'll be making this trip alone and spending most nights in cheap motels. I don't think I'm gonna want to haul a tent around with all my other gear. It's gonna be epic
