biking america - United States of America

the best way to see america.

i spend 3 months cycling the american pcific coast from portland/oregon to ensenada in mexico.
all together 3746 kilometers on my bicycle.
it was a very nice trip through the ameican countryside, combined with lot's of freindly vt members that i met along the way.
the american west coast is very suitable for tour cycling.
i rode most of the way on quiet countryside roads or on bicycle paths.
cycling on the quiet roads gave me a chance to meet lot's of people and see that america is not just big highways and mc donalds.

Pros and Cons

Pros:lot's of vt members who are always ready to party.

Last visit to United States of America: Nov 2003

The cycling trip sounds great and along one for sure. I met a guy doing 800 miles on my Utah & Arizona trip. He was rugged and lean.
