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

It's been a year and a half since I first posted this and our journey began. I am employed again , Alicia is getting her business, The Gilded Amphora, off the ground. We are still taking each day as it comes.
Thanks to all for your support and interest.
God Bless...

Previously... On May 1st, 2009, I woke up and looked around and could not find my job anywhere. It just disappeared. I've lost a lot of things over the years, but never a job.
We appreciate any contributions anyone wishes to make to our journey. With your help, we will eat a few more meals at a restaurant and grab a few more nights in a hotel. The button below allows contributions through Paypal.
We have made it. We are stoking up on vital nutrion to try and coax our bodies to drag us to a campsite... Reesers, ice cream cookies and Gatorade (which Alicia won't touch).
