And yess Værn, uhh work your butt muscles. I'm not even joking. It HURTS. Actually I don't really know much about you~ do you live with your parents? How old are you? xD I sort of feel like I'd be kidnapping young children, conspiring to take you all on these bike trips, mwahaha >=]

Sag your parents would totally kick me out :P And kickass, Liz, I'll tell you if I pass through the Chicago area :O

I just turned 19 two weeks ago. And yep, still live with my parents :p

Oh yeah, I made your bday thread. xD completely forgot about that.

Well okay, good you're not underage. x]

I misread the author of this and thought her name was "Thelma Poop Jones".

That's what I'd want to do, except farther. If only I had the whole summer... I'd definitely go coast to coast at the least. I skimmed that story though and they were going really slow, at least in the beginning, not sure if they sped up. It was like 30 miles a day, wtf? xD

How could anyone forget you? :p

I'd love to bike somewhere like that. I should bike my way to my friend's house the next time I go over there. :p

My wife's cousin has been raising money to do a "bike and build" over the summer: Bike & Build - Home

That's so cool =O I wanna do that too. Not with them, I can start my own fundraiser. For... some good purpose. xD Maybe I'll do something like that the summer after my 3rd year of law school, and before I start being a lawyer. That would be my only chance really. xD

But it looks like I'm doing something right, because I did 70 miles on my first try, and they said they start slow but build up to 70 miles a day. =]! I can build up to 100 miles a day, I'll try!

I'm serious about this, I never learned how to ride a bike >.>

They were biking just to ride and explore, jojo, not to get somewhere:p They stopped to go swimming and stuff. Towards the middle, they take two weeks off to get jobs as waitresses and eventually sign on a riverboat as dish washers.

So Joy...

*suspicious look*
...What?

....you're making me paranoid. xD

Well, it wouldn't be the first time I have to sleep on my own couch. :p

Yeah, but I'm guessing the ocean biking thing won't work too well and i'll probably get eaten by sharks, so I'll just take the -> Canada -> Alaska -> Russia (hey I'll risk biking across the ocean here ;D) -> a bunch of countries -> destination route instead k? ;) If I start now, I can be there in like 5 years, provided I don't get mauled by a polar bear/starve/freeze/drown/die first!

I think it's less of a hassle to just buy you a plane ticket. Hell, these days it's so cheap, get me drunk enough and I'll pay for it. :p
