Planning a bicycle tour from Oregon to the East coast of the USA beginning in early June 2026.
Made a similar journey in 2022. 4,000+ miles over 72 pedaling days with 125,000+ feet of elevation gain, I have also cycled from Canada to Mexico along the Pacific coast, mostly on the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway).
I am a male in my 70’s and looking to travel with other low key, like minded individuals. Leaning toward primarily using ACA’s “TransAmerica Trail.” Perhaps ACA’s “Lewis & Clark Trail” from Astoria to Missoula, and then get on TransAmerica Trail. Can be flexible.
Would like to average 50+/- miles each day depending on the normal things (weather, terrain, accommodations, etc.) with a weekly (+/-) rest day depending on the normal things. Plan on light camp cooking, cafe meals and convenience store snack stops. Primarily using campgrounds, Warm Showers, friends & family, occasional hotel/motel, hostels, churches, city parks (where allowed).
Looking forward to hearing from you!
