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.

Short and Sweet to Nahunta

Perhaps it's the time of year, or possibly the never ending winter, or it's just the way it is in this here parts, but the weather can be quite changeable. One moment it can be calm and sunny, the next it'll appear ominous with dark clouds and wind threatening a downpour, only for the sun to return thirty minutes later. Often the weather forecast will show the possibility of thunderstorms just because it's probably going to rain somewhere around here. So wait until you feel rain and lots of it before you react. Today was a short and relaxed ride of 35 miles to Nahunta where we're staying at the historic Knox Hotel, built in 1923 and operated a friendly local lady, Blanch who is 77. I'll say again that folks sure are friendly round here.





The shortest pulling the tallest.








This is Jim Thomas, a long time local.
