My name is Tim. I’m 66 and planning a solo, self-sustained bike ride from Escataba, OR to Minneapolis, MN starting in early June. I have biked the east cost from Calais, ME to Key West (actually as three separate rides) by myself and have ridden from MD to MN, also on my own. Have also done multiple shorter distance rides.

I typically combine warmshowers, tent camping and hotels for accommodations. I average about 55 miles/day and typically take a down day once a week (sightseeing & rest).

I have ACA maps for various routes (TransAmerica, Lewis & Clark, Parks, Peaks & Prairies). Would be happy to connect and see whether our ride times, routes and personalities are compatible to share some of the ride together.

I have a Youtube channel with videos about some of my adventures if that is of any interest to you: https://www.youtube.com/@timstevens9352
