Total Miles on my New Bike: 480 miles
Longest Ride to date: 50 miles
So the time has come. I am less than 48 hours from my Bike and Build Orientation in Nags Head, NC! And so, I would like to leave you all with some answers to the most frequently asked questions I get about my Bike and Build adventure, as well as some ways to keep in touch!
Frequently Asked Questions
When do you leave and how long is your trip?
My adventure starts Friday, May 14th at 2pm at Nags Head, NC, and will commence on July 22nd in San Diego California. Therefore, I will be gone for about 10 weeks. (see the end of the FAQs for a more detailed schedule)
How many miles do you average a day?
I will start out with shorter rides, but grow to average about 75 miles a day.
Where do you stay at night?
Along the way we will stay in churches, synagogues, schools, YMCAs, campgrounds, community centers, and more that are prearranged by our Trip Leaders. These hospitable hosts will arrange for showering facilities and introduce us to the local food and culture.
That all sounds great! Will I be able to keep in touch with you while you are away?!
Yes!! And here are three easy ways to keep in touch with me!
1) This Blog.
I will do my best to update it frequently, so be sure to keep checking back. If you would like nifty e-mail notifications when I update my blog please e-mail me at iamroshon@gmail.com to let me know you would like to be added to my mailing list.
2)Letters!
If you want to send me letters and/or packages (a ticket to eternal friendship), you can mail them to designated "mail drops" which we will roll by about once a week. Be sure to check the dates of these drops as we will not be turning back around to pick up any stragglers. The dates and addresses for my route are as follows:
