Putting in those hard miles and butterflies are beginning to buzz in my stomach with less than a month to go

MY BLOG

This blog chronicles my bicycle journey through the United States. I am setting off on August 7, 2010. I want to share my bicycle travelouges with my family and close friends. I will be blogging from the road, I will be riding throught cities, villages, counties, states, and time zones. Send some positive vibes my way, drop me a line, let me know you are there with me! :-)

THE ROUTE

The route that I have chosen follows the Transamerica Trail from Fredericksburg, VA to Pueblo, CO. This is a route which was established in 1976 by the Adventure Cycling Association to celebrate America’s bicentennial. At Pueblo, CO I will leave the Transamerica trail and will follow the Western Express to Grand Junction, UT. From there on, I will be cycling along highways 191, 163 and 160 on the so-called Grand Canyon Connector to the south gate of the Gran Canyon National Park, AZ which is my final destination. It is over 2,800 miles long and crosses 8 states.
