In the summer of 2014 I rode my bicycle, a Trek Marlin 29er, across the continent of North America. I stuck to the Transamerica route from Virginia to Oregon, crossing 10 states in 9 weeks. However, I took a slow, sauntering ride up the coast of Oregon, feasting on seafood, pizza, and craft beer so that my total trip time was ten weeks. I lost 40 pounds.
Below is a photo I took on my second to last day at Canon Beach, OR. You can see from the odometer on the handlebars that at that point I had ridden 4634.5 miles. As a solo biker, I had expected the trip to be a solitary experience, but in turned out to be a highly social one with an interesting cast of characters from all over the world.
