Good luck! Took me a month to rack up 200 miles.

Just did a little math here, you'll have to ride 8 hours at an average speed of 25 mph to do 200 miles per day. OUCH!

More realistically it will be closer to 12 hours per day counting rest/fuel/your butt's asleep stops and doing an average of 20 mph.

Wish I could attempt something like this.

Good luck! Be safe! Take pictures! And most important have fun!

[markeatmark]

yes thanks. 8 to 10 hours a day I've been training my butt i ride a road bike/no motor/ 30 miles every day weather permitting about 3 hours in the saddle

Live in the moment. Once you begin your trip, take the time to enjoy your surroundings rather than worrying about how you're going to get through the longest route you've planned or how you'll ever manage to make it through the hottest temperatures. Focus on the immediate ride and enjoy every minute of it.

Take pictures of your cross country trip at every opportunity. You'll be thrilled to have those pictures to trigger memories of such a momentous occasion and everyone back home will be happy to share your adventure through them as well.

Awesome! I can't wait to see your progressing, and finally, the finished build. Good frame, nice. Are you going to keep it red, or are you going to custom paint it?

[markeatmark]

Please wear your St.Christopher medallion ......that's going to be quite the entrepid ride for you ....200 miles a day isn't really feasible....you will encounter numerous pitfalls upon your journey....be prepared and take care.....good luck !

Laters,
