While I would love to take a long train ride across the country or take the bus, my first choice would be biking from the Pacific to the Atlantic ocean.
I know it takes about three months to cycle across America. I’ve followed the Instagrams of a few cross country riders, and I would love to bicycle those three thousand or so miles.
The physical challenge of such a ride appeals to me. I love being outdoors, laboring uphill and careening down the other side. I relish traveling light, with everything I need in just a few panniers front and back. I’m more than ready to spend the night in a small tent by the side of the road in the middle of nowhere.
It’s not an easy way to cross the country, but for me, it’s better than being cooped up in a car, train, or bus.
