i'm cycling across the country this summer! i can't wait to ride along the west coast and through the grassy plains. how i will live the song America the Beautiful. the gorgeous change of landscapes is going to trump all the shame i feel for the country's politics.
i am awfully excited about the trip. i have certainly finally found my motivation to get through this spring semester. when i get stuck on my thesis or a paper, i'll just think of all the things i will see, and all the 'cooky' people i'll meet along the way. i do wish, though, that someday i'll get to ride through southern U.S., around new mexico,arizona, and utah. it will be too hot to do it in the summertime, so we're not going to do it this time. but imagine the canyons and the red mountains!
our route--the trip will take us about three months...start in the middle of june, through july, til the end of august. we're starting on the west coast, ride along the coast first, probably through northern california, oregon, and part of washington. then head across the country, participate in ragbrai through iowa at the end of july, then head back up to either nyc or boston. since we're not going with a program, we'll get to choose where we want to go depending on what we want to see!
currently, karen noiva and i are going together. we would love to have one more person to join us. do you want to come??
