cross country

typically the trip has been 30 days. However that is west to east with the prevailing winds to help. With him showing east to west he will be fighting a head wind most of the trip.

Awesome, please take us along with you. Post your twitter account so we can follow along. Plus any other places you will be posting. Heck I don't even have a twitter account but will get one to follow along. Good luck, I hope that the biking spirits are looking down on you and it is all smooth and mother nature decides to blow the other way for a few months.

You have to go up in order to come down. Why is the up part always so steep?
