I will be riding the TransAm starting in May this year and I was wondering if anyone has information on meetings during their tour. Would like to try to make at least one meeting in each of the ten states I will pass through.

Hey Bryan, I too am planning a cross country trip on the TransAm route. First week in May 2013. This trip is 5 years in the planning. I just retired so I have been real busy researching equipment for the trip which will be selfcontained camp out.  Wayne at the touringstore.com was a real big help and Darren Alf thetouringpro.com.  I do alot of cyclling but have never toured so I had to purchase everything that I would need.  That done my partner and I began taking some short 3 or 4 days camp out excursions to get a feel for what you need and don't need. That done I will focus on training through the winter and heading to Yorktown in the spring to began my dream ride. If I can help with anything send a message I'll do what I can.

Thanks pdlamb for your quick response. We were leaning toward E to W now we will lock it in.

My friend and I are going to ride the TransAm May 15, 2013. We are thinking we should go E to W because of the snow in the mountains.  On the other hand are the winds really mostly out of the West and would we have a harder time with that or the snow in the mountains. Look forward to some tips on this or any other things that may come up.
