These are literally all the questions when get when we tell people about our biking plans. The questions appear in the same order they are always asked.
How long will that take you?
We leave Boston on June 26th and have plane tickets leaving from Seattle back to Boston on September 10th. That gives us 77 days total. We plan to spend about 50 of those days biking and 17 gallivanting.
What is your route?
Somewhere along the red line from Boston to Seattle.
How many miles is that?
Give or take, around 4,000 miles.
How many miles will you ride a day?
60-90 (We now know from our practice ride to Amherst that two 100+ mile days in a row is doable, but probably too much).
What about your stuff?
We will have 4 panniers on each of our bikes, carrying about 15-20 pounds in each bag.
Where will you stay?
At camp grounds, with “Warm Shower” hosts (www.warmshowers.org) and with you and your friends if we are lucky!
What will you eat?

Will you blog?
Look! Here's our blog! We're certainly trying to, at least.
Will you come back?
All we know for sure is that we are leaving our place in Boston on our bikes on June 26th and that we are flying back to attend Francis and Heidi’s wedding on Sept 10th. After that ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING is a possibility…
Can I come?
Yes, we would LOVE to meet up with friend along the way. Anyone interested in biking a sections, camping a night or exploring a new city (or rural Wyoming) with us is more than welcome.
Will you wear helmets?
Yes mom.
