The Beers

Alicia and I enjoy many outdoor activities. Alicia has long had a life goal of bicycling across America. It sounded like a great adventure to me. This was an opportune pause in our lives with a recent job loss (May 2009), so with just three weeks of planning and training - we were off.

This trek started May 24th, 2009 from Anacortes, Washington ending 65 days later in Portland, Maine (We had expected 60 days to Bar Harbor, Maine.).

3964 spinning miles!! Biggest day 115 miles. ~~Pete Beer

Getting Ready

Adventure Cycling provided great help in understanding what was needed to get ready. Overall we needed to get physically ready, equip for the ride, and understand what is involved with riding across America.

The route chosen is the Northern Tier Route which follows along the northern edge of the United States. 4,322 miles.
