So Where Am I Going #4



I have no idea about America, all I know is that it is really big, has hot bits and cold bits and have some insanely unhealthy food (I'm not complaining!). So if i want to ride my bike there, where do I start and where do I finish and where do I go?!?!

Well luckily I do know a little more about America than that, I have been to San Francisco when I was young and then Boston when I was a bit older. I remember San Francisco being amazing and with a lot of Googling I saw that the West Coast looks very nice. While watching videos of other people on bike tours someone mentioned The Adventure Cycling Association Maps which are probably the best thing EVER!!! Go on their website and look at the video about the maps, they look incredible! I looked at their routes that they have and two really caught my eye, the Pacific Coast Route and the Sierra Cascades. I love the coast and the water but I think 2000 miles of that would get a bit dull, and the Sierra Cascades looks amazing with great scenery but also some tough riding. So I am trying to take the good bits from each. I want to try to go from Washington, south to about the middle of California and then cut towards to Pacific Ocean along the Western Express Route for a tiny bit and then down to San Diego riding the Coast. 

I will probably try to stick to the routes that are given as I have no idea what to expect and I don't really getting lost with little supplies!! If you are interested more in my route I will write a page in more detail on it soon. They have been ordered and are in the post right now. Can't wait!!!
