TOUR DESCRIPTION
TRIP DATES: May 04, 2009 - Aug 04, 2009
START - END LOCATIONS: Williamsburg, VA - Florence (or Eugene), OR
We've lost track of how many thousands have bicycled the 4,253-mile TransAmerica Bicycle Trail since the wheels started rolling in 1976. Still, for thousands more who haven't experienced it, the TransAm remains the ultimate dream adventure.
From historic Williamsburg, you'll travel westward through the hills of Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri. After breezing across the plains states, most of the remainder of your journey will be in mountainous terrain.
This is a group experience that not only belongs to you and your fellow riders, but is largely created by you. You will participate in all of your group's decisions and daily tasks. You'll also be free every day to take photos, meet locals, and track down purveyors of ice cream.
Ready for the trip of a lifetime? Take the advice of Rick Wojciak, who completed the TransAm in 2008: "There will be other trips, but I don't think they will be able to top this one ... If you have a sense of adventure and are thinking of doing this ride someday, don't wait!"
