During Spring 2015, a group of friends and I will be touring the entire east coast from Key West, Florida to Bar Harbor, Maine, approximately 2,500 miles in total, following the Atlantic Coast route created by the Adventure Cycling Association. This will be a self contained fully loaded bike tour which means I'll be carrying around 45 lbs. or so. I'm looking forward to experiencing the east coast like never before. With this blog, I plan to post pictures as we progress using the BlogPress APP on my mobile phone. Let's see how it goes and wish me luck. On a bike tour such as this, our daily challenges and not necessarily in this order, will be our physical condition, food, shelter, traffic, navigation, and weather. The above picture was taken during my Southern Tier crossing of the U.S. in spring of 2008. Bike touring requires a specific mind set and a passion.

Another 70-miler to Wabasso

As cycle tourist, we grave caffein in the morning, sugar during the day, and alcohol at night. What a thought! Thanks for pointing that out Dave. Smile! Smile! Dave doesn't say much, but he's always thinking. Plus you can rely on him (and Bill and Steve) when the route finding gets tricky and confusing, especially in larger cities. Day 6 was another long day at 70 miles ending in rustic cabins at Vero Beach Kamp in Wabasso. Used my sleeping bag for the first time since the cabins come without bedding covers or bathrooms. Everyone is riding stronger after nearly a week, but looking forward to our rest day.
