A Cross-Country Adventure

[Tuckervill]

Sounds like so much fun!

Where are you going to carry your gear if you put the dog in the trailer? Unless it's a really small dog. My dog took up the whole trailer, pretty much.

Good luck! If you were taking the southerly route, I'd definitely try to hook up with you for part way.

The ride will take the upper Adventure cycling route, which is Anacortes, WA, to Bar harbor Maine by way of:
Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, [added:Wisconsin], Iowa, Indiana, New York, and Maine

I have friends and an old bike group in Wisconsin so I added that. I have family in Rhode Island, so I want to end there abouts. I edtied this post to add that the total miles will be about 4500.

I am going LIGHTLY, not bringing much because of the dog accomadation. Only what I need to keep me, my dog and my bike happy.

My suggestion is not to go too late in the Fall - you could get really cold weather and snow in some of those states!

I would be interested in sharing some of your adventure. I have ridden my horse 950 miles across the Pony Express trail (2004) and 350 miles on the Santa Fe trail (just a few weeks ago). I would, of course, use my steel horse for this adventure!! I have experience and LOVE an adventure! I am in NY.

Email me if you are interested!!

OMG. That sounds amazing. What kind of dog is it? I miss my labrador, Mattie. Just driving across country with her in 2001 was a delight. She kayaked with me a lot as well (bought a tandem so she could!). Would have loved to have done the biking thing with her.

Have fun and keep us posted on your prep.
