I’m a 52 year old worship pastor from just north of Seattle about to start a sabbatical. I’ll be dipping my wheels in the Pacific in Seaview, WA and pedaling eastward along the L&C route to Missoula, then down to W. Yellowstone and on through WY and SD. From there I’ll head south to Kansas City to pick up the Katy Trail across MO, continuing on to Indianapolis, through OH to PA, my home state, where I’ll hop on the GAP trail in Pittsburgh, then onto the C&O for a bit before turning northeast to Lancaster, PA and then due east to the NJ coast to dip my wheels in the Atlantic. I’m aiming to average about 420 mi/wk or better, 6 days on and 1 day off (or minimal riding) for rest, laundry, maintenance, etc. Mostly campgrounds or warm showers, but I intend a hotel stay about once a week. Have to be back in the PNW by the end of July, whether I reach the Atlantic by then or not. Feel free to reach out if you think our routes might intersect and you want to ride some miles with another human.
