Costs per day?

[Westinghouse]

About daily costs in Long distance bicycle touring. In 1994 in Ukraine, free-camping, eating in restaurants and from food stores, it cost less than $3.00 a day. Extremely extremely low compared to Western Europe, the United States, Canada. All the other standards by which we define civilization were also correspondingly extremely extremely low. I had read that such places existed on this planet. I expected to find such abysmally horrible conditions beginning in some place like Pakistan or India. If I had known then what I know now, I would not ever have gone anywhere near the former Soviet Republic of Ukraine, not on a bicycle, not in a car. I had a conversation with a woman I knew briefly in Stuart Florida. She asked me this. Do you think you would like to go back and visit again in Ukraine? I said yes, in a tank with a flamethrower. That really was the conversation.

One reason I like eating in diners, etc. along the way is to experience the local cuisine.  Another, is, no dishes to wash.

In 2007 I did Oregon to Indiana 2226 miles in 22 days. I spent $8 per day. This consisted of one galon of milk one box of cereal per day and coffee at every McDonalds on the route. I lost between 22 and 33 pounds on the trip. It took about 3 months to regain the weight. I have found if I average 55 miles a day I do not lose any weight. I did not spend any money on parts.

What kind of cereal?  Where did you buy it?  Was this boxed wal mart cereal?
