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.

Owings Mills to Delta

Today's ride, 49 miles with 3,400 feet of gain, in the green countryside of Maryland, along side ranches, stables, and farms, was absolutely wonderful accented by the colorful flowers of dogwoods, fruitless plum, and flowering cherry trees; a real treat for the eyes as spring unfolds in the northeast. Today we entered Pennsylvania, staying in the town of Delta, after just one and half days in Maryland and we've now completed more than 2,000 miles. Highlight of the day was the beautiful scenery.
