Finish Cross Country Bicycle Trip
On August 19
Two teachers from Long Island
finished a cross country bicycle trip
from the Golden Gate Bridge in San
Francisco to the Verrazano Bridge.
The trip started on June 20 and
ended Thursday, August 19; a 3,327
mile trek that took 53 days. They,
spent 6 to 11 hours per day cycling
depending upon the terrain, averaging
63 miles per day
The route spanned 13 states:
California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado,
Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and New York.
They cycled on their own without
the aid of any support vehicles, typical
of organized tours. With 60 pounds of
gear strapped to every part of their bicycles,
the "unorthodox" route took
them through the widest part of Nevada;
usually avoided by cyclists because
of the dessert and lack of
towns. This forced a single days mileage
to 115 miles, and the need to
carry an additional water besides the
gallon.of water they each carried.
Despite the mountain ranges and
heat, rainstorms (7 days worth), four
worn out tires and forty (40) inner
tubes, the most difficult time was
eight consecutive days of head winds
they encountered in Kansas. The
most treacherous time was cycling
through downtown Pittsburgh during
rush hour. More so than the two-lane
mountain roads in Utah with no
shoulder and tandem tractor-trailers
passing them at 50 MPH.
The awe inspiring scenery and
experiencing the country first hand at
12 MPH far outweigh the difficult
times they encountered.
They have trained together for
nearly one year in preparation for the
ambitious goal Keith has had for 10
years. Their shared interest include
running, ocean kayaking, hiking /
backpacking and snowboarding.
Keith and Cheryl are proud of
their accomplishment, as are their
families. When asked what was the
best part of the trip, they answered,
"....getting home to the welcome of
their family and friends."
