RIDER TYPE: 4 (Avid)<br />
START: Portland, Oregon<br />

This country was built by a nation of pioneers who set out with nothing more than a need to<br />
explore, and now that adventure is available again. Traverse the northern tier of the United States<br />
by bike, dipping one wheel in the Pacific Ocean and then another in the Atlantic 45 days later. It<br />
won’t be easy, but the stories you’ll tell will make it worth the trip.<br />
LOVELL TO SHERIDAN<br />
PEDAL FROM<br />
PORTLAND,<br />
OREGON TO<br />
PORTLAND,<br />
MAINE OVER<br />
45 DAYS WITH<br />
130,000 FEET OF<br />
CLIMBING.<br />
Lovell to Sheridan was a spectacular and exhausting ride! My<br />
longest and hardest climb ever (it beat any of the cols in the<br />
Pyrenees). The morning was stunning again with the sun rising<br />
over the mountains. After 19 rolling miles, the climbing really<br />
began and went on for 3 tough hours up 6,200 feet over 20<br />
miles. My strategy was to pedal until my legs could take no<br />
more, hang over the handlebars for a few minutes and then<br />
repeat, endlessly! It was a relentlessly steep climb for most of<br />
the way. The views though were just incredible, an experience I<br />
will never forget.<br />
And finally the top...<br />
I don’t really remember the last 20 miles of the ride<br />
but it happened somehow - 99.5 miles today in<br />
7 hours 13 minutes with 2,443 metres (8,015 feet) of climbing.<br />
I am so utterly knackered now and have just eaten yet another<br />
huge meal - my favorite, cedar plank salmon.<br />
