The beginning






So I am planning on biking across America this summer.  I am out of the classroom June 3 so my trip will start shortly after this.  Been doing some research and it is going to take roughly 3 months to accomplish, which is perfect because I start school in late August.  I am still in the beginning of my plans..researching routes, gear(I don't think my 69 schwinn will get me across America, unfortunelty), etc..  If you are reading and have any suggestions, resources, people you may know who can help, or you would just like to join me on this trip let me know! Please no nay saying about my adventure though! Only good positive support!

So far I have been just getting used to riding everywhere on my bike and becoming comfortable with matinence of a bike. I am doing my research on the right type of road bike to get and I am planning a trip across Idaho in the spring for some good practice:).


Here is what I have been reading so far:
