Yesterday some dude stopped on his bike to start chatting with me. Turns out he just got done with a 9 month stint going from canada to mexio the across the US or arround it not sure wich. He just got back 2 months ago.
Yesterday again this older than me guy 60s I think pulls up next to us with a set of panniers and touring gear. We were in torry pines at that point (san diego) and he had ridden down from Santa Cruz. He averaged 85 miles a day! He said he was just in town to visit his grandson for a while. Wow what an inspiration. He told us he did the same trek we are doing back in 2001. His advice, "cross country is more ental than physical". Well I guess I am looking forward to those mind games.
More to follow

More "ental than physical"? Ok, guess you've got an excuse...you ARE riding a ridiculous number of miles a day. On a bike. Across the country.
He!
