X-Country US Tour

[stewbart13]

I am planning a x-country tour beginning in New York City and planning to end in Seattle and then maybe down to San Francisco. Anyway my exact dates of travel are very up in the air, but it's looking like I will likely begin the trip on June 1st. I have never really been a road bike rider and this will absolutely be new to me. I am in pretty good general shape for a 29 year old, and I think I will be able to handle the new conditioning road biking requires; though it may take a couple weeks to adapt.

Anyway I just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone else had similar plans in mind or might know a website or forum where I might find people who are planning something similar and might be interested in meeting along the road for a few days of cycling. My friends and family are a little more concerned than I am about my safety on this trip, so I promised I would at least attempt to find other Cyclists.

Thanks.
