Introduction

I have the advantage of living in one of the most amazing countries in the world. I get to enjoy freedoms and privileges that few around the around the world share. Additionally, our country is very diverse geographically. During my lifetime I hope that I can take advantage of my privileged position to experience as many of these special things as possible.

So, starting on June 15 I will be leaving from the Pacific coast to ride my recumbent bicycle through the United States of America. I will complete this journey on about August 23rd, having covered over 3,500 miles. During my journey along the highways of the Northern US, I will travel through at least 13 states, but more importantly, I will experience America in a completely new and much more complete way.

In this blog, I will keep a travel log, journaling my travels so that you can follow me on this adventure. I hope to get a map that I can use to track my progress on this quest. I will also post pictures along my journey to help you share in my experiences. I will post on a regular basis once the trip starts, probably not daily, but as often as sporadic WiFi connections, and exhaustion allow.
