A bit more infor on the route...

Weighing in was certainly less dramatic than say a prize fighter before a big rumble, but none-the-less an equally important part of the process. While this information is all well and good, it makes little difference if one does not know where the heck I'm going and when I'm going.

On Monday I fly out a 8:35 to Yorktown Virginia, which is the start of Adventure Cycling Association's Trans America Rout. Yorktown is a little South of DC and really close to the Langley, the Headquarters of the CIA.
From Yorktown I start West, yest I know I'm "going the wrong direction" but that argument is actually been debunked by several sources I have read. The idea is that riding West to East if better because winds predominately go in that direction across the country. However in reality this is based on the idea is that the jet stream runs West to East. While that does have effect weather on the surface of the earth, the jet stream is really far up off the surface of the earth and does not directly dictate dominant wind conditions.

From Virginia I head into Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, And Washington. 12 total maps from ACA, 4,125mi. I'm looking to complete my journey in about 3 months.
In the mean time I've already shipped my bike to my destination hotel and it has arrived (that was really fricken' expensive UPS, it better be in good shape!) so I currently have no bike to ride which results in me spinning at the gym. While this does keep my legs moving, it is the most boring thing on the face of this earth especially when its bright and sunny outside.
