    I viewed this a year or so ago ... perhaps even earlier than that ... in any event, I just viewed it again, and enjoyed it as much, if not more, than the first time. What a terrific accomplishment. I trust your memories of the trip are still as alive today as they were two/three years ago. Trusting you're well, healthy and enjoying life. Cheers and all best wishes. And thanks again for this wonderful post.

    Excellent... as a fellow RUclipsr...well done. I will doing this ride in 2021. Next year a few 5 day rides to see how things go. Biking has been helping me recover from Lyme Disease. What a great community.

    Outstanding video. My wife and I rode the TransAm (and a bit more) in 1980 and I recognize most of the scenes. This short video captured the experience and essence better than most much longer RUclips videos of the transcontinental bike trip.

    I just watched this video. So awesome. I’ve been planning my journey across the US for 5 years. Was going to go in 2020, but obviously didn’t. My buddy I planned to go with in 2020 can’t go this year, and encouraged me to go. So I’ll be going solo. So great to see you do it on your own. Congratulations!!!

    The TransAm trail was originally the Bikecentennial B76 trail. Bikecentennial Association was converted into the American Cycling Association (ACA) and today has over 50,000 miles of trails throughout the US, including the original which the video gal apparently took. If you need maps, contact the ACA. In 1976, at the launch of the trail, there were many groups of 8-15 or so bikers who left the east or west coast every day for a couple of months. It was a global community that passed back and forth along that trail then. It is well known and loved trail throughout the world to this day.

    Boston to El Paso late fall 2019. I hated Missouri! Great people, tough terrain! I rode: East Coast Greenway to Richmond. VA, to Trans America Trail, to Route 66, dropped down to Austin to the Southern Tier. Stopped in New Mexico... 750 miles short of my destination of San Diego... I’m 62 years old but am already thinking about one more shot across!!! Dumb Swede from Boston! HA!
