I'll bike to your house :D

[Værn]

Haha Yars, if your parents aren't okay with me parking a car there, why would they let you disappear for over a week while you bike to Illinois and stay with an internet person? xD

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

[Jojee]

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".

[Jojee]

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

[KentaRawr!]

How could anyone forget you?

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.

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

[Jojee]

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 >.>

[rubah]

They were biking just to ride and explore, jojo, not to get somewhere 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.

[Peegee]

So Joy...

[Jojee]

*suspicious look*
...What?

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

[Aerith's Knight]

Biking to England/Sweden/Netherlands/etc is definitely on my list of things to do this summer Very high on the list, ok?

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

[Jojee]

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!

That would be a tragedy/horrible/depressing/hilarious. :Eek:

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.
