A bicycle tour across the USA
In 2025 we rode our bikes from Chicago to New York and then from Chicago to California. It was an unconventional approach to riding bicycles across the country but we had our reasons for doing it that way.
🏁 Completed October 28 🏁
Some stats:
- Total distance: 3,905.9 Miles (6,286km)
- Total climbing: 141,575 Feet (43,152m)
- Total rides: 80
