Hi–
I'm writing a book about my Summer 2022 bike trek from San Diego, CA and Manasquan, NJ. I'm converting the blog I created for the ride (www.rwbikeusa.com) into a chronicle of my journey and a sort of memoir. One of the first topics I've covered is why I chose to cycle cross-country (a retirement "gift" to myself, looking for a slower way to see the country, looking for a better vantage point to see the country, establish new connections, deep introspection), but I'm also hoping to include a sampling of what motivated others to go coast to coast to round out my explanation on why people pursue such a monumental adventure.
I'd love to get your thoughts and incorporate them into this part of my book. I'm only identifying people by their first names and can go completely anonymous if preferred. Here's what would be so incredibly useful to know about your cycling trek:
-Most important: What were your motivations for wanting to make this trip-Start and Finish Points
-When you completed your trip
-Group or solo
Thanks for any input you might be willing to provide.
