Riding a bicycle across the U.S.

Last year it occurred to me to ride my bicycle across the United States. But then other stuff happened and I made other plans and momentarily I forgot about this. However recently this plan resurfaced. And I want to do it even more now.

My Uncle Darrell (196?-2002) was a good man. He loved nature and took me on many excursions out at sea, in the desert, opal hunting, hiking to waterfalls, ATVing, and 4-wheel driving across barren terrain. When his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, he bought an RV and a bicycle and she and their son followed him across the country as he pedaled his heart out to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. He made the local news in addition to making some really cool handmade shirts. I watched him create each one with a stencil and airbrush paint spray gun. It was waaaaaay cool.

Then I stumbled across this website - We're Really Doing It - and I found two guys who didn't "train," but just did it (back to the theme of JUST DOING IT).

And now that they've done it, they are doing more. Right now they are doing the Grand Canyon. 

Yes, please.

I want to travel up the California coast, through Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana...these are all the places I have wanted to visit. 

And now that I think of it, why not throw Mexico in the mix!
