General Discussion / TransAmerica trail

« on: January 06, 2010, 01:26:34 am »

hello all. i first found out about the TransAmerican trail a yr or so ago and ever since I have wanted to do it at some point in my life. I have done research and found a program called Bike and Build. in essence, you do the trail and along the way you stop off at habitat for humanity homes etc and help out communities building homes for less fortunate. do any of you know of any other programs like these that might be available? any information is greatly appreciated. thank you.

Routes / riding east/south/west/north routes

« on: October 05, 2008, 09:51:10 pm »

Hello all. I dont know how I did it but for whatever reason I started thinking about bicycling. I stumbled upon the TransAtlantic route and am interested in doing this at some point in my life. After research of this route I came across the Atlantic, South, Pacific, and Northern routes on the Adventure Cycling website. I was just curious if there is anyone whose ever done these simultaniously. In other words has anyone ever riden the routes along the outside of the US? Hopefully this makes sense. I look forward to talking to you guys, for something as random as this I am actually very interested in one day doing this. Hopefully as soon as I'm done with school. Thanks for any help you guys can provide. Take care.
