The Route

We will embark on a self-supported bicycle tour of the United States around August 20, 2006. The tour will commence in Jon’s current home of Jackson Hole, WY. The first leg will take us north through Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Parks. After approximately 600 miles we plan to take a couple of days to explore the backcountry of Glacier by foot. From here the journey turns west. We will be riding along the US/Canada border for about 700 miles towards the Pacific Coast. The third leg of our adventure will take us south to Santa Barbara, CA. After 1400 miles of riding along the Pacific Ocean it will be time to head inland. We will cross the southern tier of the United States and continue to our final destination of Key West, FL. After completing 6000 miles it will be time to dismount our bikes and head for home.
