We'll be following Adventure Cycling's Souther Tier route across California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Texas, Texas, Texas, Texas...Mississippi, Alabama, Florida. Okay, just once across Texas, it just seems like it's more than one state. The maps we'll be using are designed for cyclists with information on climate, terrain, riding conditions, services available in towns we'll ride through all printed on water proof (and sweat proof!) paper.
Here's a link to the Adventure Cycling web site where you can see in greater detail the route we'll be following. Just click on 'detail' to the right of each section.
We're riding self-supported and packing light, carrying about 15 pounds in panniers on each of our single touring bikes and staying in motels along the way. Our good friend, Cheryl Olson, will join us for the San Diego to Phoenix stint, then we'll be on our own. We hope to hook up with high school friend Dave Fisher who is riding solo with about a week's head start on our very route!
