In 1978 I rode from SF to Washington DC.
My sister, Mickey, (Michelle Sheehan) rode as an Independent in 1976. I would love to ride this year’s 50th Anniversary as an Independent but ACA doesn’t have that option anymore. I want to ride this 50th anniversary ride in her honor.
I would like to do the ACA route from Reedsport, OR to Washington DC but am flexible re other routes. Could start anywhere on the west coast.
I use a pedal assist e bike now so will need to recharge at times.
I am flexible about accommodations /camping with some hotels perfect.
Planning to ride ~ 50 miles/day.
Assuming will take 65-90 days. Preferred dates are anytime after June 22 – through October 15, 2026.
I am 72, retired NP/RN, married and raising our 10 yo granddaughter. Both husband and granddaughter supportive but want me to ride with others to be safe and willing to give me the 2-3 month window, they don’t want to do the ride.
Anyone interested? I hope.
