OK! After consulting family and friends, I have decided that I will set a specific date for the start of my ride across America and back. The new start date is Sunday, May 3, 2009. This will enable me to give extra time to training, planning and fund raising as well as have better chances of warmer weather in the Colorado Rockies.
In the next few days I will be posting a proposed itinerary of townships and mileages, along the way, to give you an idea of the route I will be taking. As with any trip of this nature, sticking to a firm itinerary is next to impossible it is mainly for planning of the route. Dates and daily mileages will probably change occasionally but the overall route will stay pretty close. So far my proposed route to Washington, DC is about 3,100 miles. I haven't fully plotted the Northern return route completely as yet, and have a few tweaks to make to my south central route.
Thanks again for your cooperation and generosity so far and in the future.
