The route...
West to East coast of the US - covering 10 states, California to Virginia totalling 5300km...
5300 km over 90 days
The trip begins in Santa Monica, California which lies 20 miles to the West of down-town Los Angeles and will end in Yorktown south of Washington DC, Virgina. If driven by car on a direct route the distance is 4319 km. Marion will be following a mixture of trails and minor roads meaning the distance will be a sizeable 5300 km to be covered in 90 days...
I will be camping and using basic motel accommodation on my rest days. Much of the route has been planned to stay away from major cities and major interstate highways
I have 19 rest days over the 90 days which hopefully gives me enough time to get lost, deal with punctures, mechanical failures and meltdowns!. This means about 80 km a day on the road with all my kit and a tonne of hills in the first half of the trip. If I go over that I will be doubling up my days as I have a flight booked on the 9th August.Back to work on the 10th!
