Mean Green Machine
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!

Steve,
I've enjoyed following your travels and exploits. Each day a long, tough journey...and then getting up the next day and doing it all over again.
You ARE the (iron)man!
You're an inspiration to all of us.
