On June 1 2014 I will be driving to Cape Girardeau MO. From Fayetteville,AR this is about 332 mile this will get me to the start of my trip.After I get to here it's an all day drive for my self.And I will take a day off to get ready for the very long road trip to Bar Harbor Maine.This trip is about 1500 miles long one way!I have been trying to do this trip to Maine for over 5 years and at last it looks like I will be able to go for it.I have spent a lot of time getting the maps I need from A.C.A. and they are really good maps lots of detail in them.For people that would like to follow my trip keep checking back here and I will try my best to keep it up to date with lots of pictures.My trips start with the Great Rivers South Section 2 and then to Underground Railroad Section 2,3,4,5 and the last two are the Northern Tier Section 10 and 11. I have a few things here on order before I can post a picture of my bicycle I want ever one here to see it as I will be riding it it has lots of Panniers two sets on the rear and a front pair as well. All of them are Carradice Super C Panniers.The total cost my my bicycle well lets just say to much but this is the last bicycle I should ever need.I hope so of you here know what a Surly Big Dummy bicycle looks like mine is the new kind it's a 2013 model and I love it a lot it rides very well all loaded up and I have a mountain drive train on it front chainrings are 22,32,44t with a 11-32 cassette 9 speed all the way friction shifters only I love the way they shift as long as the cable is hook up it will always shift only way to ride I think.I hope to be able to post a picture of my bicycle some time in the next few weeks one of my order may take a while to get here that will hold me up on posting and it's driving me crazy too I so want to show my ride off here and hope to here back form a few of you.Until then have a great day/night.
