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

Outfitters

R.E.I. --> Camping gear, bikes
Bike Gallery --> Great Portland bike store
Performance Bicycles --> Bike gear
Bike Nashbar --> Bike gear
Arkel --> Front paniers
Amazon --> Some interesting electronics
iPhone --> This enables so much capability, I couldn't leave it out. Navigator, GPS with waypoints for the bike route, Twitter, Skype, Blog, email, pictures. Just way too cool. It's the kind of cold that makes it stick to your skin. I mean, who would want to let loose of their iphone once they have experienced the ultimate cool!
