General Discussion / Re: East to West 80 days?
« on: November 04, 2010, 10:36:57 pm »As for the 40 miles per day, I think that's quite reasonable as a goal. With a few weeks to get in shape, I'd think you could average 40 miles per day in almost any terrain. (Road biking only -- off-road could be more difficult!)
If you're asking how to get to the start of the TransAm, I'd suggest flying into Washington, DC. A hundred miles or so on the Atlantic Coast route would get you close to Yorktown, and you'd be off. Take your pick of TA, Western Express, or Lewis and Clark. Any of those could be completed within 90 days, if you're young and/or in decent shape.
