This has been on my bucket list for over 20 years now&#8230; and this journal is about the realization of that dream.<br \/>\nThe $ has been sent in, commitments are made to ride my bike from coast to coast&#8230; now to prepare!<\/p>\n<p>How I decided to do THIS ride&#8230;<br \/>\nTuesday August 29, 2017<br \/>\nIn the past the big blockers on doing this have been:<br \/>\na) having time available to do it at a pace I can actually achieve (I&#8217;m no longer up to 3 weeks of PAC Tour&#8217;s 100+ miles daily pace, and really only ever was up to back to back 125-ish mile days);<br \/>\nb) finding a logistics company to remove the logistical hassles for me&#8230; for me this really was THE key question (forgive me for going into it more below, but I can&#8217;t stress how important it was for me).<br \/>\nUntil my retirement, time pretty much eliminated the option. While I could (and still can) imagine doing a crossing in 4 weeks, I doubt it would be anywhere near the fun that a 7 week crossing will be&#8230; stopping to take flower pictures (etc) is a part of the fun. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Storm ravaged TX<br \/>\nSaturday September 2, 2017<br \/>\nRt 10 in eastern TX has been (literally) under water&#8230; Will riding thru the Houston TX area still by then be like riding through a disaster area? Will the displaced fire ants still be a problem for camping? I&#8217;m counting on these logistics being handled by others and trying to put the fear out of mind.<\/p>\n<p>Travel Plans All Set<br \/>\nWednesday October 18, 2017<br \/>\nTravel plans to the start of the trip in San Diego have been firmed up. My wif &amp; I will be traveling via AmTrak, realizing another item from our bucket lists of a cross country train trip, complete with sleeper car. This is exciting!<br \/>\nThe plan for after the ride continues to be that the wif will meet us in FL and we will drive back up the coast to home.<\/p>\n<p>One of the niceties of these plans is that the wif will get to see our ceremonial wheel dipping at both ends of the tour! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>The start of the long, cold, damp training months just before the ride&#8230;<br \/>\nSunday November 5, 2017<br \/>\nIt is getting cooler &amp; wetter here in on the east coast, cutting into my riding. I&#8217;m supplementing regular 60 mile rides with 2-7 mile walks on the less pleasant days, and past years&#8217; experiences make me confident that I&#8217;ll still get enough winter riding (and exercise) in to be fully ready for the physical side of this ride.<\/p>\n<p>Bye Bye Tiferme: The bike has been shipped, training is done&#8230;<br \/>\nFriday February 16, 2018<br \/>\nThe bike went off to the shop yesterday for shipping (via BikeFlights, a FedEx reseller specializing in bikes) to the ride start&#8230; no more riding until I pick it up a few days before day 1 of the ride.<br \/>\nRiding this winter has, as always, been a bit &#8220;catch as catch can&#8221;, with 500-600 mile months being typical (both past years and this). February would likely be similar if it were a full month of riding, but that is not to be due to the shipping time requirements. As it is, the 230 miles I got in this rainy month will have to do, backed up with lots of walks (46 miles so far). &#8230;<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.crazyguyonabike.com\/pics\/docs\/00\/02\/03\/26\/small\/20180208_180222.jpg?resize=500%2C666\" width=\"500\" height=\"666\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">#meetup_oembed .mu_clearfix:after { visibility: hidden; display: block; font-size: 0; content: \" \"; clear: both; height: 0; }* html #meetup_oembed .mu_clearfix, *:first-child+html #meetup_oembed .mu_clearfix { zoom: 1; }#meetup_oembed { background:#eee;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:10px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;border-radius:3px;margin:0; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; }#meetup_oembed h3 { font-weight:normal; margin:0 0 10px; padding:0; line-height:26px; font-family:Georgia,Palatino,serif; font-size:24px }#meetup_oembed p { margin: 0 0 10px; padding:0; line-height:16px; }#meetup_oembed img { border:none; margin:0; padding:0; }#meetup_oembed a, #meetup_oembed a:visited, #meetup_oembed a:link { color: #1B76B3; text-decoration: none; cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; }#meetup_oembed a:hover { color: #1B76B3; text-decoration: underline; }#meetup_oembed a.mu_button { font-size:14px; -moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;border-radius:3px;border:2px solid #A7241D;color:white!important;text-decoration:none;background-color: #CA3E47; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #ca3e47, #a8252e); background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left bottom, left top, color-stop(0, #a8252e), color-stop(1, #ca3e47));disvplay:inline-block;padding:5px 10px; }#meetup_oembed a.mu_button:hover { color: #fff!important; text-decoration: none; }#meetup_oembed .photo { width:50px; height:50px; overflow:hidden;background:#ccc;float:left;margin:0 5px 0 0;text-align:center;padding:1px; }#meetup_oembed .photo img { height:50px }#meetup_oembed .number { font-size:18px; }#meetup_oembed .thing { text-transform: uppercase; color: #555; }<\/style>\n<div id=\"meetup_oembed\" style=\"height:270px\">\n<div style=\"max-height:230px;overflow:hidden\">\n<h3>Just Ride For A Just Cause<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:5px 0;font-size:16px\">Saturday, Mar 24, 2018,  8:00 AM<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 5px;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Simonton Community Church<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size:12px;\">9703 Fm 1489 Simonton, TX<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span style=\"color:#4F8A10;font-size:16px;\">1 cyclists Went<\/span>           <\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:5px 0 10px\" class=\"mu_clearfix\">\n<div class=\"photo\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/secure.meetupstatic.com\/photos\/member\/a\/0\/e\/3\/thumb_248801187.jpeg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"line-height:16px\">Just Ride For A Just Cause is an MS150 Recommended bike ride on the west side of the Greater Houston Metropolitan area.
