General Discussion / What should I name my trip?

« on: March 16, 2013, 06:23:50 pm »

So I'll be riding across the states this summer (age 22), but I'll need a catchy title for my book. It needs to stand out and be unique; so I can say to people along the way, "Just search "XXX" on Twitter," or google that and you'll find me.

Here are my ideas so far:

29 Centuries (one century is 100 miles and I'll be going from Boston to Los Angeles)
The "(insert name)" Trail - sort of like The Oregon Trail
#happytravels or #happytrails
The Adventures of Charlie Parker
The Road Ahead (I really liked this when I thought of it, but I googled it and Bill Gates already took it.)
American Headwind
The Headwind Trail

However- just for legal reasons- by responding you agree to take no ownership of the title and you agree not to sue me. Cheers!

What about when there is no shoulder? Is that a rare or a common problem?

Could I avoid limited access highways for the majority of the trip?

Hi guys,

The more I think about riding across the states, the more real the idea becomes. 

However one question I can't seem to find anywhere is... what do you do on the highway when you come across an exit?! Riding through it just seems dangerous, especially if a car is behind you. I only ask because I'm sure this is a problem that would come up a lot on my tour, and I want to know the legal way to handle it.

Thanks in advance,
CP
