I'm riding across the country AND BACK!

Hello to all of my fellow female cyclists!!!

I just wanted to share that I'm leaving June 20th to ride my bike from Seattle, WA to Washington, D.C. for the American Lung Association's Big Ride then I will be heading out to Virginia with my boyfriend, Ryan, and we will be taking the TransAmerica trail home!

It's bound to be the most challenging adventure I've ever faced and I'd absolutely love it if you followed my blog and posted encouraging comments along the way:

Over 7,000 miles and 4 months....

sounds exciting- go you, and save a few bucks now and then for an overnight in a motel with hot showers and soft beds. Good luck!

7,000 miles in four months!? Holy moly.

Safe journey, and may you always have a tailwind. :)

What an amazing journey! Go Kate!

When you make it to NoVA and if you need a place to stay, I have an extra bed! All i ask for is you tell me a cool story from your trip. :) Good luck and safe riding!

WOW, I am in awe!

Awesome! I wish I had a spare bed to offer you...

Wow - good luck! I'd offer you a bed but you'd have to be very badly lost to need it...

WOW! Have a BLAST! I know you will... keep us posted here on TE when you get Internet from time to time and know that some of us dream of being right there with you!

good luck!! I'll check out your blog (put it in my blog reader)

Wow, that sounds AMAZING. Have a wonderful time on the good days, and I'm wishing you lots of patience, light thoughts and a zen-like mind for those days that don't feel like such a great adventure. They'll be the ones to tell about later, I bet :p

Good luck, Kate. I love the picture of your mom that you posted. That's really amazing.

Wow, what an incredible journey you've created for yourself!! Truly the trip of a lifetime! Good luck and keep us posted. Safe travels, Kate! :)

Oh WOW!!! what an exciting bike trip. Thanks for posting the link to follow you. I certainly will. Good luck and I will be thinking of you along the way.

Thanks SO MUCH for all the well wishes, good advice and offers of a place to sleep! It means a lot and I'm getting very nervous and excited as I get closer to my departure date. So much to do to get ready, not to mention TRAINING!

:eek:

THANK YOU!!! I will definitely contact you if I'm in the area, but if not I'm hoping to have MANY good stories for you to read on my blog! :)

Wow, that sounds amazing! Will you be posting a route at all? I'd love to offer a shower and somewhere to sleep if you pass through here.
