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.

Rest Day in Washington DC

Out and about on the National Mall, there's probably enough here for a week's activity if you include all the free museums.


Some smalls protest all the White House which was under security lockdown.


The closest I could get to the White House.





MLK





His thinking was ahead of his times.


Korean War Memorial





Jefferson Memorial








This helicopter made regular low flights around the National Mall, probably White House security measures.


The Holocaust Museum








Freer Gallery of Art





Smithsonian





National Gallery of Art. It's tough business trying to see it all.
