Okay, it looks like it's really going to happen.
We have the MotorHome, thanks to our cousins Yvonne and Andy.
We've been riding.
We have a route and are working on the camping locations. We have a list of the WalMarts enroute, since they allow overnight motorhome parking.
We are seeking drivers to get our vehicle across the country. The plan is to have drivers exchange at the closest airport to our route for the day. So the Schedule shows the closest airports within a three-hour drive.
We went to San Diego last weekend and scouted the first day's route. Talked to some folks at the local bike shop for advice. We're climbing from La Jolla to Julian, which is a 4000 foot elevation in 40 miles.
So I've ramped up on the hill training.
I'm riding at least 100 miles a week. Peter is riding at least 4 days a week and reading bike books and watching touring videos for advice.
So we've still got to get pet sitters and a few more drivers...
The dates of the trip are set for April 18 to July 4th.
Getting excited!
This is the story of Peter and Karen Wolfe planning and executing a bicycle trip across the US. The trip began April 18th from La Jolla, CA and is set to end on July 4th at York Town, VA. We have borrowed a 21-foot motorhome from our cousins. We sleep in the rv at night and it drags all of our stuff. Various drivers are taking turns supporting us and meeting us to bring water and set up our camping spot each night.
