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 Concord

I spend the afternoon exploring Concord and buying needed supplies after which Brian took us to the Minute Man National Historical Park and Thoreau's Walden pond.

Walden Pond where Thoreau lived in a small cabin for 2 years, 2 months, and 2 days.

Thank you Lucy and Brian. We loved our stay. Just what the doctor would order for me.
