In 2018 I started my TransAm journey from Yorktown headed West. I could not get enough time off from work to ride all the way to Astoria, so I have been riding it in segments. In May 2026 I plan to pick up where I left off in Wichita KS and follow the original Trans America route. I am retired now, so my goal is to finish the trip in one last segment. I am hoping to connect with a person or group headed west. I am a 69-year old male and an experienced touring cyclist. I generally plan for 50 – 60 miles per day, although longer days may be required to find a place to stay for the night. I am flexible about overnight options, from camping to hoteling and everything in between.
