I'm planning to do a bike tour of the North Cascades Highway this summer,
starting in late June/ early July and lasting about 3 weeks. The plan
is to head north out of Seattle, Washington, riding on islands in Puget
Sound and taking ferry boats between islands; at Anacortes, Washington,
I will turn east on Highway 20 (the North Cascades Highway) and follow
it and HIghway 2 all the way through Idaho to Glacier National Park in
Montana. If there is time, I might consider riding up into Canada as well.
This route has the highest concentration of mountain/glacier scenery
in the entire United States; it is part of a cross-country route
recently developed by the Bikecentennial touring organization
as an alternative to the Transamerica Trail.
I will be riding 50-70 miles per day, camping out or staying in youth
hostels. I'm 27 years old and have done several substantial tours before.
I'd like to find about 3 other people to join me and make this a truly
memorable tour - is anybody out there interested? My starting date is
very flexible at this point in time (I can't leave before June 15, however),
but soon I will have to make a final decision. I hope to hear from you
real soon!
