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!

How much did it cost you to have your Bike air lifted to that spot by helicopter.
Kevin Smit
It was free. He PhotoShopped it in.
Or... how do we know he moved his bike to the sign? Maybe he moved the sign to his bike!
I understand why the picture is a little blurry...it's hard to get a steady shot when your knees are wobbling and your heart is about to leap out of your chest.
OK, I'll say it.
EPIC DAY!
Please tell me you are stopping in Kingston.

omg Wilson is in so much trouble I hope you have a good headlight. You are making up for lost time today. I was checking earlier for places to stay and I noticed you were in trouble. Sleep well.

We've been watching since Silver City. All this without Starbucks? Time to pack it in. MOM/POP
Wow, everyone is watching out for me. Don't worry, Wilson can see in the dark and will guide me when needed.
