Hi! Steve has to do the ride alone, but you can be part of the journey as he prepares for the ride. Please send your comments and sponsor miles so that Steve can store these up for motivation to complete the ride. Then monitor his progress, through the video and audio reports, as well as the live tracking we'll display on the blog. Hopefully, this will inspire some of you to experience the same sort of adventure someday--while others of us will be content to live this one vicariously.MEAN PACKING JOB Here are some pictures of his fully packed bike and I wish my mom wasn't here taking pictures of how little his packs are for a 27 day journey (since I pack way more for a week trip without bringing food!)
In this little f
ront pack, Steve is carrying all his food supplies, water chlorination pills, bear spray, flashlight, maps. He will be carrying a camel pack for water. He cannot get outside support for the ride, so needs to be ready for snow, desert heat, heavy rain, bears, mountain lions and being by himself for a long time.

The bag in the back of his bike contains his tent, sleeping bag, blankets, emergency gear, bear spray, camera, podcast system, clothes, shoes.

Check out the thin leather seat. It is a Brooks and has metal rivets in it. Steve says that it breathes and is extremely comfortable. I'll have to take his word for it, because I don't see much padding there.
Steve created this Logo for the fundraiser, which draws from a bicycling project he has begun, American Discovery Tour. We hope you will sponsor Steve's miles. We will give you a copy of the Logo with the words Going the Extra Mile Off Trail Support Team under it. We would love to have signs in windows all over the town to identify everyone who is cheering him on. Guess I'll close. Please keep visiting the blog for more pictures and information.
Someone requested information about Steve, Kidneeds and me. Below are some links.
