Hello 2+2, wanted to share some of my adventure with the community and have a place to document the experience with those that may be interested.
On 6/20/14 I began my journey on a bicycle (peddle bike) from the Easton PA with the goal of reaching Playa Del Carmen Mexico. Right now I am writing this post from a cheap motel in Jacksonville FLA on phillips highway 7 miles from the Best Bet card room.
The trip so far has been good my best mileage in one day was 115 miles and that took me from the south bank of the Pamlico River to Surf City N.C, it was quite a haul and required me waking up at 5:45 Am then riding until 10:30pm the last 9 miles was interesting as it featured crossing a large bridge/causeway during a full on lightening storm, 30 mph winds and pounding rain. I took a break for two pints of beer at North Topsail Beach and pushed the final 7 miles to the lovely Trailer Bar which is a double wide mobile home that has been for some time a local watering hole.
There is so much to write, and quite frankly don't know where or how to begin and apologize for the lack of writing chops but last night was a long one at Best Bet featuring some very big action at the 5-5 PLO table.
My goal henceforth is to give some sort of daily update of my travel and share pictures, and stories.
Many of my best photos as of late have come from my IPhone and am struggling to post them on 2+2 but have managed to upload from my laptop so I suppose eventually that will happen.
Hopefully in the future my ability to navigate the site and share the experience will increase but for now it feels very foreign, any questions about bike touring and my overall experience will be answered as my time and ability permits
