Beginning Aug. 4, 2025. I’m an experienced bike tour rider, male, married, 74 yrs., politically liberal. This is my 3rd coast to coast ride in the US. Starting in Florence, OR, following the mapped ACA Trans America route. Expect mileage to vary, but average about 55 mi/day. About one rest day per week. Combination of camping, motels, Warm Showers. Normally one hot meal in a cafe or restaurant per day. This will be a tour, not a race. I will be stopping to meet and greet people, enjoy the sights large and small, dip into local culture and history. Would love to have like-minded riding companions for part or all of this trip.
