I'm kicking off my first extreme long distance bicycle tour tomorrow. I wanted to go earlier this year but I had some set backs. My goal is to go from east coast to west coast but that is subject to change. As of now the route is made up on a day to day basis. I'll be keeping you guys updated with pics and stories as I go. If you want to follow along I made some profiles on social media. These profiles are barren at the moment because I'm just starting. I also suck at story telling so don't mind my sloppy writing lol.

This my first update. I start north Jacksonville and rode about 25 miles through Callahan into no mans land. I ended by US 301 and where they overlap the railway just south of the Georgia border. I really wanted to make it to Georgia day one but my legs are too tired. I'm also literally butt hurt because this bicycle seat feels like it's made of concrete.
My original plan of taking the back road to St. George has been scrapped. Google doesn't indicate dirt roads as far I know. My original path was about 8 miles of dirt road which is impassible with 50 pounds of gear on a bicycle. However I did discover US 301 has bicycle lanes going all the way into Georgia. It looks like 301 is my new route.
I'm probably going to camp for another day or two to heal up my legs before moving on. Hopefully sometime next week I'll a new update.
Heading out !
First stop US 301 south of Georgia.
