Planning a self contained bicycle tour from the Pacific Ocean, starting in Oregon, and heading East to the Atlantic Ocean, beginning in early June 2026.
Made a similar journey in 2022. 4,323 miles over 72 pedaling days with127,924’ elevation gain,
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” maps from Astoria to Missoula, and then get on TransAmerica Trail. Can be flexible.
Plan on averaging 50+/- miles per day depending on the normal things (weather, terrain, accommodations, etc.) with a weekly (+/-) rest day depending on the normal things.
Primarily using campgrounds, Warm Showers, friends & family, occasional hotel/motel, hostels, churches, city parks (where allowed).
Let me know if interested.
