I got the long distance bug and want to plan a coast to coast route for 2009.
Checking google I found Adventure Cycling Association maps for sale that
detail The original 1976 BikeCentennial Route that alot of cyclists still use.
It starts in Astoria and will take a more northern route adding a few extra days.
www.adventurecycling.org
I have a complete touring bicycle but got back into motorcycling because I lack
the time and possibly the endurance to cycle for 3 months across the country.
Am I evil to copy thier routing to avoid the freeways on the first crossing?
I plan to ride I-80 back in 3 days. This road is my road. It winds through my birthplace,
my California hometown, and ends in SF. where I live. Never been to the east
coast-- only as far as Nashville. The idea of doing SF to NY has always appealed
to me as I've lived in the shadow of that freeway for alot of my life. I like freeways
(when traffic isn't bad).
Am I insane to want to do this?
