Trans-American Bicycle Ride 202O

On the morning of May 13th of 2022, I took a swim in the Atlantic Ocean near Savannah GA, hopped on my bicycle, and began biking West. Over the next 6 months, I strengthened my limits of mental fortitude and physical exhaustion. Without a clear path or route I meandered my way through the United States, visiting old friends and making new ones while pursuing grandeur and solitude in nature.

On October 16th I reached Cape Flattery WA - the northwesternmost point in the contiguous United States.
