A little bit about the trip.

So I've gotten alot of questions about the trip from many people and wanted to answer a few of the basic questions. First, I think its going to take me around 2-3 months to cross the country. Roughly 4,500 miles of asphalt will be crossed. I'll be carrying between 35-40 lbs. of gear on a 25 lbs. bicycle. There are two well know routes that I will be riding on, The TransAmerica and The Lewis and Clark Trail. The first 7 days will be me navigating the wild, thanks in part to goolge maps. My destination will actually be Astoria, OR. Its on the coast, and my plan is to sit out on the beach for a few days as my reward.
