TransAmerica Final Leg
I started the TransAm bicycle route in Yorktown VA in the summer of 2023. I got as far as Missoula MT where I had to pause the trip due to timing. Now it’s time to finish…

This is the rough itinerary for the final leg of my TransAm bicycle journey. This is the first cut. There will be some minor adjustments once I’ve had a chance to study the elevation profile this plan follows. This version of my plan is based on the locations of convenient campgrounds. This could change if the elevation between these stopping points turns out to be unreasonable (for a 70 year old man).
The tentative starting date is Saturday June 16, reaching Redmond on Tuesday July 2. I’ll rest in Redmond over the July 4th holiday (allowing the worst traffic to abate). I’ll resume Monday July 8, finishing in Florence on Friday July 12.
