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.

To Statesboro and Beyond

During the spring, these parts of Georgia can be quite foggy during the morning hours, a product of its high water table which can seen as open pools of water all around us, be it small ponds or large marshy lakes, or water along roadside ditches. There is water everywhere, it's a "boggy bog" as Bill would say. Such wetlands mean lots green fields and trees; add Azaleas, Wisterias, and Dog Woods to name a few, and it has been a wonderful so far. Today we rode 38 miles to Statesboro and rented a van to drive to Savannah for two nights, leaving our bikes at a rented storage facility. This is my first trip to Savannah, only one of the many great places we'll be visiting during our tour.
