CYCLE AMERICA: NEW YORK TO SAN FRANCISCO

-4100 Miles
-11 States
-Coast to coast in under 60 days! We plan to depart from New York in May heading south through Washington DC on to Richmond, VA. We will then turn inland cycling across the states of Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas to name a few. The route then takes us over the spine of the Rocky Mountains and onto some of the loneliest roads in America across Utah and Nevada. The trip will finish with the spectacular scene of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
