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.

Gary, simply amazing, you are coming around the home stretch 1000 miles! Amazing story you will have forever...
Best of luck, flat roads, wind at your back and feet and legs that continue to pedal forward.
Continue to wish you the best!
