It’s hard to find the mini size, so I’ve made sure to acquire one in advanceMy mom and I have been getting miles in around Little Compton to prepare for life on the road

Ready to Roll

Tuesday, May 17th, 2022

  • Location: Little Compton, RI
  • Longitude: 71° 10' 20" W
  • Latitude: 41° 27' 50" N
  • Miles Today: 0
  • Total Miles: 0

Well, I’ve acquired everything on my packing list, logged over 500 training miles and there are 5 days until tires are dipped in the Atlantic. So I guess I’m ready to roll?

The Plan

My mom and I will dip our tires in the Atlantic on Sunday 5/22 and start heading northwest. She’ll be with me until Buffalo, NY where we’ll be visiting family and celebrating my birthday 🥳. After that, I’ll head solo into Canada and across to Michigan, over the Upper Peninsula (probably, there’s an alternate that’s shorter if need be) and then more or less straight west to Anacortes, WA. My friend MJ, who I met when touring the pacific coast in 2017, will be joining up with me in Glacier National Park and then biking over the Rockies to the end.

I’ll have full camping gear with me, so camping will be my default sleeping option. However, I plan to visit friends and family along the way, as well as stay at the occasional Warm Showers host or motel.
