Classifieds / Companions Wanted - TransAm:E2W western half June thru Aug
« on: December 30, 2024, 12:50:17 pm »
Greetings, will be leaving Springfield MO = home on or very near June 16,2025. Will be riding the TransAm Route from home to Florence OR and then the PCH to Crescent City, CA
Here’s what makes my ride ‘unique’:
I’ll be traveling both by car and by e-bike. I’ll be breaking camp (or motel) and cycling ~45 miles west then return to car, and leap frog ~50 miles to a new camp (or motel), charge the batteries and repeat the process daily to Crescent City. Having the car allows me to carry a generator in the odd chance I don’t find a way to charge the bike, plus it allows me to have emergency shelter overnight (just in case) PLUS it provides me my ride home at the end so as to avoid either a plane/train/bus/ & UPS for my bike
IF I have a companion then the daily cycling can be doubled as the two of us will trade off every other day; one cycling, one driving. Personally I find this the best of both worlds. I am an old codger of 68 with a slight leg impairment making standard touring quite difficult. Am happy to camp/motel/WS where the conditions dictate. I love it all! (Except anything fish or seafood) and I’m a pretty good cook and talker. Touring is great and even greater when shared so, holler back at me
