Coast to coast.

While you read this, I am likely pedaling somewhere between Santa Barbara and Charleston, completing a lifelong dream of riding my bike across the USA. Below, I'll detail the arduous days of this journey and hopefully have a tale or two to share. Meantime, I hope you'll drop me a note on these posts or send me a reply on Twitter. I will post a daily stream of my photos on Posterous. And, it would mean everything to me if you will check out my charity:water page to see how you can help bring clean water to the one billion people on the planet who need it. Thanks!

Hi Chris, It's Mike, the guy who rode with you a lot of the day today. As mentioned, I am raising money for diabetes and people can visit my site at www.mphbikeacrossamerica.com Thanks for your help. It's a real pleasure getting to know you.
See you at dinner!!!!
Cheers

Wasn't sure whether your earlier FB reference to "40 days of riding" was bike or kite; I'd be jealous either way. Here's to a fun and safe ride.

Chris, try a picture at The Blue Swallow Motel on Old Route 66, if it's along your path. Cheers, The Digital Freak! (Bogota)
