I’m Mike a 65-year-old avid (although wife describes it as fanatical 🙂 road and mountain bike cyclist located in the Tampa Bay area the past 32 years. I’m planning to ride the TransAmerica route, self-supported, as laid out by Adventure Cycling Association doing 60-80 miles daily with some down/recovery days (roughly weekly). Primarily camping but occasional Warm Showers and hotels. Food will be picked up along the route (typically restaurant for lunch) with a few dehydrated meals just in case. Past tours include:

2022-08 Michigan Upper Peninsula from Mackinaw Bridge to Manitowoc, WI along Lake Superior (solo, self-supported, 10 days).
2017-08 Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (3 riders and wife as support crew, about 2.5 months).
2014-12 Home to Pensacola (2 riders, self-supported, about 10 days).
2014-06 St. Augustine, FL to Savana (2 riders, self-supported, about 10 days)
ETC

If this is something you’d like to do, I’d love to hear from you.

Regards,
Mike
