Hey! Glad you're on your way from Warrenton to Warrenton. But did you know there's a Warrenton, NC? Could have been back here on Wednesday! Love, Glenn and Amy
PS - we're going to have Toly meet you to ride for a week. Let us know what works for you.
Gary and I drove from Portland to Warrenton, OR (near Astoria) early this morning and then headed for the Pacific at Ft. Stevens State Park. I launched him at 9:48 PDT, whereupon Oregon christened his trip with "heavy mist." Temp: low 50s. Watch for the pix.
Hope your first week has been as eventful or uneventful as you wanted. Weather is boiling here. 98.9. I'll track your progress between my travels. Pedal with continued good luck.

Welcome to my blog site.
Hopefully from this site, you can track my cross-country bicycle adventure this summer.
The journey will begin on the coast of Oregon, near Astoria, in the town of Warrenton, Oregon. The adventure will end on the Atlantic Coast, via Warrenton, Virginia.
The launch date is set for June 1, 2008. The total mileage is 4000+ miles and should take me about ten weeks. I plan to average 70 miles per day, perhaps more on the plains of Kansas and definitely fewer over 11,000 foot Hoosier Pass. I hope to pedal east on Route 211, into Warrenton, around August 9, 2008.
