Reliving History

40th Anniversary

Bikecentennial was launched in 1976 to celebrate the bicycle and America’s Bicentennial. During that summer, 2,000 cyclist rode the 82-day, 4,250-mile TransAmerica Bicycle Trail from Astoria, Oregon to Yorktown, Virginia, the biggest bicycle-touring event in U. S. history. I will attempt this route opposite direction in 71-days.

Riding in the rain. Thanks to months of endless soggy weather, Seattle had the wettest winter on record  with 24.63” of rain.  Secret-Sealskinz Brand waterproof socks.
