In just 8 days my bicycling partner and I will fly to Seattle to begin a 64 day adventure riding our touring bicycles from Everett, Washington to Glouchester, Massachusetts!
While we have joined up with a fantastic touring company called Cycle America (http://www.cycleamerica.com/) owned by Greg Walsh, the plain truth is that we will have to bicycle an average of 80 miles a day! Yes, our camping gear is transported from site to site by CA each day and our meals are provided by local school groups, clubs, senior citizen centers, and the tour support group. Our job is to successfuly ride a large number of miles every day.
The Cycle America Tour is made up of nine weeks of tours and while many participants will ride one week a year until they have cycled all 4,250 miles from coast to coast, we have chosen to do it week after week after week! I did this tour back in 2001 and the term we used often was bicycle boot-camp!
This year we start June 19 and will end August 21. The first week is 610 miles in 7 days of riding and includes 4 days of just about 100 miles each. We will ride from Everett, WA all the way to Missoula, Montana through the northern section of the Rocky Mountains!
