The Trip


View Larger Map

“A life changing experience”

On June 1st, we will say goodbye to our homes for ten weeks, and greeting all of the people and places that will make our trip memorable. The open road will be our home, the mountains and prairies our living room, the stars our ceiling and the warm summer breeze our central air.

As we depart from New Jersey headed West, retracing the steps of pioneers who believed this nation should bridge from ocean to ocean, and who with this idea as their guide, rang the bells of freedom, brotherhood and charity across the land.

With the help of the Adventure Cycling Association Bicycle Touring Maps, which offer an invaluable resource to any0ne planning a bike trip like ours, we will travel a total of 3,750-mile.

We’ll be averaging 60 miles-per-day, while making numerous stops on the 60-day tour.

a few of the cities where we will see: send us mail

Richmond, Va., Blacksburg, Va., Berea, Ky, St. Louis, Mo., Wichita, Ks.,

Pueblo, Co., Dolores, Co., Cedr City, Co., Carson City, Nv., San Francisco, Ca.

    Hey guys,

    I’d been following parts of your trip last year and have to congratulate you for doing it.

    A friend and I have been planning a similar trip around Australia and I was hoping I could get in touch and get some advice from you about a few things.

    I couldn’t find your email so decided to post on the forum.

    thanks in advance,
    Shuku.
