Day 0: Bicycling Across America

What the heck am I thinking? Do I actually do really want to do this? It’s so nice in New England in the summer. Am I truly up to bicycling 4,200 miles from the Pacific Ocean in Astoria Oregon to the Atlantic Ocean and home on the Northshore of Massachusetts?

It’s seems that alot of adventures start at 4AM with a bus ride to the airport. Today, this was followed by flight to Seattle, a connection to Portland, Oregon, a 10 mile bike ride to Union Station, a bus ride to Astoria, Oregon, and yet another bike ride to The Atomic Motel. It’s not too late to change my mind!
