  1. Wow, that is amazing! Thanks for sharing the stats--I was wondering how many days it took you. 52 days does not actually seem that long considering you went across the entire country on a bike! You go girl!!

    1. Thanks, Kelly. I should clarify two things:
      1) On Day #17, I took the train from Whitefish, MT to St. Paul, MN, a distance of 1,208 mi. So, technically I didn't bike the *entire* distance from Portland-to-Portland. Google Maps tells me that that the shortest distance from Portland, OR to Portland, ME is 3,189 miles, via I-80. Surprisingly, my ride was 177 miles shy of this. I guess it helped that my route meandered quite a bit. :)
      2) I arrived in Portland, ME on Day #49, and then spent three days backtracking to Ticonderoga, NY to meet up with my brother and his girlfriend.

  2. ZERO FLAT TIRES!!!! That is a great stat. How many chain cleanings?

    1. Darn! I didn't keep track of the chain cleanings! I guess it was enough, though, as I didn't have any drivetrain issues.
