In 2011 I began training to ride the Southern Tier route. That's why I bought

I want to do one of the fast transcons with them, they do Transamerica
from Oregon to Virginia in like 24 days at an average of 128 miles a
day. This is the only way I could work a transcon into my work
schedule. Otherwise, I have to wait 15-20 years for retirement to do
a traditional transcon at
I have thought about it. I would absolutely love to do one. I've looked and

I think I could do the distances, but I have this idea that they are doing them
much faster than I could manage. The training tips state that
I just was reading about the tours and they are some amazing distances.
