The Route
 This ride will be a continuation of my 2014 tour to Maine ( a2tobarharbor.blogspot.com ) with a goal of completing a cross-country tour of the USA.   The route will start in Ann Arbor, MI and connect to Route 66  near Springfield, IL. From there, it's the Mother Road all the way to to Santa Monica (Yacht Harbor).

The destination, Santa Monica,  AKA "Yacht Harbor"

Phil and his 1973 Schwinn World Voyageur on the Trans-America Trail in 1976.
I dedicate this tour to my brother Phil who rode across the USA on Bikecentennial in 1976.  I have always regretted not joining him on that classic tour.   Now, 40 years later, this will be a ride of redemption.  I believe that Phil will be with  me in spirit.

    1. OK. Maybe I have established my own identity. This is like pulling teeth! Or recovering from a new hip installation.
