Reminds of the scene in Forest Gump, "... one day, I just felt like running."
I don't see the attraction of biking across country. Seems like a lot of unnecessary misery. I mean, if you want to see the country, that's why God created cars and hotels. lol
Well, I'm trying to do it in such a fashion that it avoids the misery.
On a mountain bike on flat ground, I can maintain 12 mph. Therefore, 60 miles a day would mean biking for only about five hours out of the day. I intend to average about half that, with a couple weeks of buffer if needed. Therefore, I think that I can bike for about two and a half hours a day, which isn't much at all, especially if not done all at once. That should be a leisurely pace.
I'll also have a computer with me. Biking and coding, gaming, and banning spammers. Where's the misery in that?
I'm all for leisure. :)Quote:

Yes....to every part of that.
I expect it to take about five months, though I likely would have to speed up in the west, simply because my options for things like water and reasonable camping become farther apart.
As for lodging, there are places where only camping makes sense (at the pace I want to travel), and places where hotels are the only option. The rest of the time, it will depend on what I feel like...and laundry. Laundry can drive where I stay.
Press F7 for enlightenment.
I missed and hit F8....now I wallow in confusion:(
When I first started working for Allstate, we were still running a mainframe app where the cursor did absolutely nothing. We eventually migrated to a web based application (though it used the old mainframe app under the hood), but all of our documentation still had "F1 for help", "F2 to complete", or "F3 to cancel".
Or maybe it was F6 to cancel... it's been 13 years...
Well Autumn is definitely here now as today I've seen four squirrels scampering around the garden and running up and down trees. Their nut gathering has started in earnest.
My cursor keeps flashing me.
I thought we were, temps nice, mid 80's. But last two days were @ 100. Suppose to cool back down today.Quote:

It's almost our typical fall, except that the temperatures seem higher.
Can you send us some - we've at 48 and wet :cry:
I wish. We'd be happy to trade for some water.
There's a chance that the fires will get going again. They weren't extinguished by the two storms that came through, as those storms didn't have all that much rain associated with them...and now it's dry and breezy, again.
I hope the winds don't shift around to the north. I've breathed in enough smoke for this year.
Some people were using apps that showed you the equivalent number of cigarettes you'd have to smoke each day to match just breathing this air. We were working on two packs a day.
Was given a bunch of bird cages on Fark to Photoshop. This came to mind:
