Maidei goes on a world tour-Part 1 of the Bicycle Mystery Tour

[OakLeaf]

I realize your trying to make the next connection...

What about those in California, Oregon and Washington. Then there are more people in SLC, me in S. Utah, Colorado? I thought we were going to try and hit each area of the US?

Am I not understanding something here?

I agree. We should plan a general route, and if events occur along the route, great, if not, too bad. If we try to get her to particular places at particular times, then we wind up having to do a lot of shipping and mailing and skipping areas and missing connections. Continent-to-continent is one thing, but this is supposed to be a BICYCLE tour when possible, and hopefully keeping the connections as short as possible when cycling isn't possible, and trying to do the hand-offs in person, right?

Can I make a general suggestion about covering the Americas.... subject to criticism now, and revision as time and seasons pass?

From South America north through California to the PNW and western Canada.

From there, east to the Rocky Mountains.

South along the Rocky Mountains to AZ

East to Texas

North through the Great Plains

East along the Great Lakes (including the Canadian side)

South through Appalachia

East through the Deep South and counterclockwise along the Florida coast (just for directionality... inland Florida could catch her in either direction, most likely)

North along the East Coast of the USA and possibly to anyone in eastern Canada we missed on the Great Lakes tour

Fly to the UK, then connect with Europe.

Comments, criticisms, sane or insane remarks?
