Last summer, I (M26) bikepacked the TransAmerica Trail from west to east, and it was an unforgettable journey. Starting at the Pacific Ocean and going to the Atlantic, I biked through Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, and lastly Virgina.
Some highlights included crossing McKenzie Pass in Oregon, the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, the Appalachian scenery in Kentucky and Virginia, and the incredible people and hosts I met along the way.
If you're planning your own trip or just curious about gear, logistics, or the route itself, feel free to ask. I’m happy to share advice or answer questions (to the best of my ability!).
