The itinerary
often follows the "BikeCentennial" bike routes as you cycle the northern
routes through the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, the plains
of North Dakota and Minnesota, through beautiful rolling countryside
of Wisconsin to ferry across Lake Michigan. Bring your
passport! Cycling through southern Ontario will bring you to Niagara Falls.
Then easterly across New York and New England before
jubilantly diving into the Atlantic Ocean to celebrate your amazing accomplishment! By the time you reach Vermont and New
Hampshire, those New England mountains will feel like molehills! But this trip is a physical challenge – we’re talking serious cycling!
More than 3,000 miles with 70-I00+ mile cycling days! The Great Plains! The Continental Divide! Prairies! River valleys! Canyons! If
you consider this trip you must be prepared to live with your group in basic circumstances for almost 2 months and you must have a
strong bike in excellent condition. A major adventure of your lifetime - crossing the American Continent under your own power! | 2012 Dates | Finishing Grades | |||
