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.

Welcome to Georgia

We rode into Georgia today after 12 days and 650 miles total in Florida. Although we are in rural regions headed to Okefenokee Swamps, the most strike change between the States was the outright friendliness of the Georgians. There were lots of folks waving and honking to greet us and all the vehicles, including 18 wheelers along Highway 40 as we rode to Folkston, gave us a wide berth. Looking forward to some southern cooking. Today was about 50 miles.
