Ready to start, sky looks gloomy. We're starting with the commemorative dipping of the back wheel into the Atlantic (better known here as the York River). Thanks to Andrew for the ride down. Hoping to ride 60 miles today if the weather holds out.
Good luck. We too are Adirondack cyclists with our oldest just graduating from college. He and we will be working in Idaho SW of Missoula, MT this summer. If you go Highway 12 as an alternate route, maybe we'll see you. Look for our VW van with NY plates. We've biked this route from Missoula to Eugene Oregon with kids. Great route, though trucks and RV's are sometimes bad. If you do go that way, stop by on the Selway River at Fenn Ranger station. I work on the fire lookout above there, Coolwater LO. Hurray NCPR. Tom and Betsy.
We will follow your progress daily. What an unlikely way to catch up after 20+ years. Mike, no beans for dinner along the way! Good luck on your adventure.
Mike and I have been married for 31 years this coming October. We live in the Adirondack Mountains and have found a love in tandem biking. This coming summer we will be embarking on our biggest adventure since raising our four children. Starting in Yorktown, Virginia and following the TransAmerica Route we will be biking cross-country to Seattle, Washington. This will be a self-supported odyssey, camping along the way (with a few motel nights here and there).
What's the over-under on flat tire count for the trek? I'm going to go with.... 5.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, good luck my hiking/biking/skiing brother. Looking forward to reading your blogs. -Jeff S.
Happy trails...
ReplyDeleteGood luck ... hope my forecast of tail wind is correct and that you're staying dry. Looks good on the radar only small little showers.
