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.

Onward to Miami

Onward to Miami's South Beach area, what a great way to visit a region, by bike that is. Yes there is traffic, rides along highways, and bike paths that aren't always the best, but the adventure of travel by bicycle can't be beat. After 70 miles plus, we ended our day in an old historic Art Deco hostel in Miami's infamous South Beach district on a Saturday evening off busy Collins Avenue. Needless to say, the energy surrounding us was very high with people and traffic everywhere which only heighten our own excitement. First on our agenda was the beach for a quick dip in the Atlantic Ocean, which we then followed with an outstanding Peruvian dinner. Life is good.
