Washingtonian Escaping to Florida by Bike Seeks Help

Okay, all you happy people!

I got this communique, yesterday, and figured that I might be able to get more info for the guy than the links in my sidebar might provide:

Hey, I live in Olympia, WA. and am starting a new job in Florida.

I'm thinking of riding my bike there.

Has anyone ever gone from coast to coast?

Do you know approx. how long it will take or good routes?

Thanx for any input...

There is the Lewis and Clark Trail, to get from Wash. to VA., at least. ;-D

Of course he could haul butt down the coast to connect with the American Discovery Trail, from CA. to as far as Missouri...

Or U.S. Route 40, from CA. to as far as Missouri, as well. ;-D

In my sidebar are a collection of sites under the heading of BIKE TOURING AND CYCLING THE WORLD.

Not to mention all the state by state resources.

Any other ideas, can be posted in the comments for all to profit from, and/or sent to Kenny. ;-D

Have Kenny Z contact fellow bike blogger Alan Snel (alansnel.com/blog). He's gone coast-to-coast twice and may have some good route tips to share!

Check out: http://www.bikeacrossamerica.org/

There is also a group that does a ride across America every couple of years or so. The name escapes me now. I thought it was Road Bike Across America, but blackle.com didn't turn anything up.

Good Luck . . . should be a heck of a ride!

Hey,

"CYCLE DUDE!"

I am called "Bat Boy" because I do a lot of bat studies for the Forestry Department throughout the United States, and down in Mexico.

Dude!...I am preparing w/in three weeks to make the West meets East ride.

It is something that I have started.

"Half Moon Bay", California meets "Cocoa Beach", Florida.

I have to do a slight "De-Rail" in Eloy, Arizona to see my "SKYDIVING" Coach!

Other than that, I am "ALL THE WAY!"

If you want to go, let me know!

3,2,1, CU!
