Here is the route we are taking thanks to Kara’s comments on the previous post…
We are basically starting out on the western express trail, which starts in San Francisco, CA and ends in Pueblo, CO. Then we are going to jump onto the Transamerica route in Pueblo. That route will take us across Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky and into Virginia. After Virginia we are going to probably wing it back up into PA and finally into NJ.

(465.5 mi.)

And this is the Transamerica Trail:

(235 mi.)
2. Eugene, OR, to Baker City, OR
(340 mi.)

(413.5 mi.)
4. Missoula, MT, to West Yellowstone, MT (332 mi.)

Hi Brian - I've never met you while I was at F&M (graduated last year) and it is such a coincidence that I ran into your blog, but just wanted to wish you good luck! I biked across the country twice (summers of 2001 and 2005). I did the Northern tier (adventure cycling assoc maps)both times. You are going to have so much fun! Let me know if you have any questions. Also, I took a list of what you brought with you...try to be as light as possible (ie get rid of the jeans) You'll thank me when you're going over the rockies. Trust me.
oops - meant to say "I took a look of what..."
Good luck guys. Behave yourselves. Jason, grow another beard and remember, chivalry always triumphs.
Homer, it appears you have already have achieved rockstar status. Congratulations.
Kara, good luck. Stilettos and biking???
