Welcome to 2023 and the final leg of this multi-year bicycle adventure across North America. What started back in 2018 near Portland Oregon will hopefully conclude with a triumphant finish near Portland Maine. Per tradition, a back-wheel dip in the Pacific celebrates the start, and a front-wheel dip in the Atlantic marks the conclusion. Flashback to 2018, Fort Stevens State Beach at the NorthWest tip of Oregon:
This final segment will feature rides across the states of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The rides vary in length from 50 to 90 miles a day; 650 miles in total from Buffalo, New York to the coast of Maine. Much of the ride will be off-road trails, highlighted by the Erie Canal Towpath Trail (aka the Empire State Trail) across most of upstate New York.
My trusty trail angel Jackie will be providing support and encouragement while continuously seeking out enclaves for paddle boarding along the way. Accordingly, many of our overnight towns are situated on lakes and waterways.
Jax and I will do our best to share some images and words along the way. Thanks for tuning in, and enjoy the ride!

Right on! Hold back the rain.
