Subject: Cross Country Ride
Next year I am planning a 32 day SAG supported cross country tour. We
are planning on a long 2 weeks in May and in September. In researching
the routes that various groups take, it appears that the America By
Bicycle cross country fast route fits our wants best. They are unwilling
to sell their route slips and cue sheets. Does anyone have any
suggestions for a source of cue sheets for the Irvine to Boston route?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Have you talked to the PAC Tour (http://www.pactour.com/) organization?
They would seem to be knowledgable about fast cross-country routes.

A couple of my friends rode from Portland to Boston in 28 days,
self-supported: http://www.ohpv.org/mea/intro.htm . 32 days with a SAG
should be a cinch.

rec.bicycles.rides is a good place to ask about routes for bike touring.

I should clarify why I posted this to this website. We are riding tour easy's
for the trip. We are well qualified to ride the distance as we have completed
a number of double centuries and have toured down the Pacific coast from
Canada to Mexico.
