Help Out

It is not very easy to take 4 months off from your life to bike more than 3,000 miles. Here are some ways you can help out if you’re so inclined.

Chip in

As you might imagine, this trip is a bit of a financial stretch, between acquiring all the necessary gear and taking time off from work. So, a few bucks to subsidize the meals and supplies I’ll need along the way would make a lovely and very appreciated early Christmas or birthday or Arbor Day gift, if you were planning to get me one anyway, or even if you weren't but suddenly feel a surge of inspiration to. This PayPal link goes directly to the Bike Trip Fund. It is not at all tax-deductible.

Put me up

I will need places to stay in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. If you or someone you know could put me up for a night or two, please let me know!

Keep checking this site

This is kind of a safety thing, since I’m going alone and it would be awesome to know that people are keeping tabs. I’ll be posting to this site once a day, and Twitter 3-5 times a day. If I stop, please call to make sure I’m still alive and/or alert the local authorities.

Say hello!

I imagine it will get lonely out there on the road, and if you are my friend chances are I will miss you a lot. So please call or email or otherwise get in touch to say hello!
