This blog site documents my solo cross country bicycle adventure that goes from San Diego California to St. Augustine Florida - 3,200 miles. The trip is planned from November 21st until January 5th. The goal is to ride 80 miles per day for 40 days with 2 days of transport and 2 days for rest or bad weather. Gonna be a major challenge and a trip to remember!

The Surly never looked so good! Hope your ride today is a little shorter than 116 miles. You keep going like that and you'll be back in NC before the New Year!
Tasty and stylish

Glad you fixed my bike up! Even more character now!
We are tring to keep up with your milage here...
We had 3 Roses road 20 miles each yesterday and 5 Thorns rode 25 each so thats 185 miles, we thought we had you covered for 2 days...
Then you go and ride 116 followed by 85, so Kevin, Tim T and I rode 30 each today, now we have you covered! It takes an army just to keep up with you!
Keep rollin!
