Bike Route

This is the complete route plan layed out on the kitchen floor from Astoria, OR to Cambridge, MA. The total length of our ride is 4330 miles. Our path will follow the Adventure Cycling Lewis and Clark trail from Astoria, OR (or Portland) to Jefferson, SD where we hook up with RAGBRAI to ride across Iowa and then follow the Adventure Cycling Northern Tier route to Rochester, NY. There we follow the NY state Route 5 bicycle route to the border of MA. Finally we navigate backroads across MA to Cambridge. If all goes well the total trip length will be approximately 64 days. I have been busy packing for 2 weeks. Ryan on the other hand is taking a more relaxed approach and probably won't pack until the night before we plan to leave.

Thought I'd reply here, so you have at least one comment.

Hey Andy,
Thanks for the belated BD wishes..guess what? I"ve got another year on me
anyway, minus your sanction.
Salsa dancing was great..good energy.! I'll have to check out that movie.
Betsy finally put a few miles on her new bike out at Boca..her friend took
lots of pics..it looks very pretty out there, so she wants me to try it next
week.
Sounds like you have your issues addressed and are ready to roll..I see that you have an established
route. If you're starting in Astoria..how do you get there?..don't
understand the initials for whatever happens in Iowa...see the overall
mileage has increased, so you'll have a balance forward for next year's
goal.
You must be getting anxious to get started..I know I'd be..it's an exciting venture.
