Rediscover Bicycle America

2005 / 2006 Bicycle Trip

14,000 miles. Again!

The first 10,000 miles of Joe's Rediscover Bicycle America Unbridled Spirit Adventure (red line on map) are complete. He finished on November 19th in Cleveland, TN. He spent the winter working in schools across KY telling students about our magnificent country. On March 11, he pedaled out of Cleveland, TN, to complete the final 4,000 miles (black line on map) of his 14,000 mile adventure.

Itinerary 2006- The Final 4,000 Miles

The following itinerary is a blend of meticulous planning, unpredictable weather events, and the serendipitous whims of the rider. It will most certainly change. We will keep you posted on this website of Joe's location. Joe is essentially mirroring his historic ride of 1967 and referred to that experience in developing this itinerary.
