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.

Day Two to Key Largo

It's mighty hot under the Floridian high noon sun. Use suntan lotion, lots of it and drink plenty of water. Do that and you'll enjoy the ride. Today's ride was just over fifty miles and at times, we rode with the Florida Bay in view to our left and the Atlantic Ocean on our right. The views are uniquely Floridian where life is about the water, a "salt life" as they like say. If you live along the coast, owning a boat of some type is a must and as common as owning a car. Here's some pic from the day.
