I would leave in late May/very early June and head east to west (because leaving that early in the summer I would encounter snow in the Cascades/Rockies). I need to leave then to be back home in time for school to start in early August (I teach).
Plus, I want the sun at my back each morning as I head out in the wee hours (and drivers wouldn't have the sun in their eyes coming up on me).
I hope you can find some companions to ride wtih. I'm so very excited to do it one of these days.

I'm not totally certain my trip will take place in 2011 but am planning with next year in mind. I'm kicking around ideas on how to have some SAG support yet not incur a lot of expense. If enough people with the same interest get together, we could form our own group, possibly rent a van and take turns driving OR we could get ZEN to drive the SAG wagon ... she gets in her cross-country tour by car while the group cycles.
