Details of the Challenge
4,000+ miles
150,000+ feet (of elevation gain)
33 days of cycling
Start: Florence, OR - Mid July 2022
Finish: Myrtle Beach, SC - 3rd Week of August 2022
Daily Average Miles: 125 miles
Most of the route roughly follows the TransAmerica Trail. When looking at the map, it may seem like there are crazy long detours in the route. This is largely because of limited bike-safe roads that go all the way through the mountains. I am planning to ride a road bike, so sections of gravel and off-road terrain are very limited as well. I plan to deviate from the TransAmerica Trail route to detour north to my hometown of St. Louis, MO and then again at the end of the ride to head to South Carolina, where I have family (instead of the normal route through Virginia).
While I will mostly be riding by myself, I will have a support team that will be driving a rented RV with supplies (and allergy safe food) to assist me and provide a place to sleep each night. My wife, my mother, and my aunt will be switching as drivers for the RV during the pass through St. Louis.
