bike across the country? check

well, I'm back...leaner than ever, oddly tanned and with legs of steel. 2 days ago I rolled into DC after nearly two and a half months cycling myself from San Francisco to Washington DC. More to come later, but to the guys who were down for doing some rides with me, contact me asap; I'm going crazy. After spending 8 hours a day biking, every day

hey, you too man! Thanks again for the cycling cap! My retinas thank you! Around Utah my glasses broke, I bought contacts and I could wear cheap sunglasses that would get the upper part of my eyes that I couldn't when wearing my glasses. But, another rider in the group (another transguy actually!) also needed a cycling cap and he became the proud new owner of my sweaty, stinky cycling cap:). The ride was amazing. Like, life-changing amazing. I *HIGHLY* recommend that you take a tour and *SOON*. There really is nothing like seeing and experiencing the world from a bicycle seat. And on top of that, it really wasn't that hard to do. Yea, the mountains and desert were tough but they weren't impossible, at least not as impossible as I had made them out to be in my mind. I'm not too excited about being an adult now and not being on my bike all day, but I still have the weekends to do some longer rides on. If you're ever on the east coast, look me up! You have a place to stay in DC and if you're looking to do some bicycle rides, you know who to call:)

that is so fucking rad that the cap moved on to another rider! we should have both written our names on it somewhere, kind of like a white bicycle (you know, like in holland) with a history.

i finally got my new bike just the other week and am dying to start my touring. when you write out your enteries please please please write some advice for people about to go on their first tour, that would be so awesome! and helpful to those of us about to start on this adventure.
