Three months, that’s how long until the roads are dry and free from the vestige of winter. I know the tough guys will say different but I DON’T HAVE TO dress warm and avoid the piles of sand, gravel and I-dont-even-know-what it is they put on our roads. I just want to get on my bike and go!

I was looking at a map and I figured every 500 km closer to the equator I could add a month to riding. About 3000 km would put me in the southern United States,  maybe if I move to San Diego no one will notice! I always liked the way the Americans used to build roads, not the Interstates but the crooked ones through the mountains and following rivers.

But somebody will probably notice that I’m gone and I will feel obligated to stay. I guess I’m better off with a proper suit to add a month to either end. Only two months to go!
