| Baltimore, MD to Portland, OR. 4,400 miles in 10 weeks. |
Last summer, my friend Joanne got her motorcycle license and took her first road trip to Sturgis, SD. This year, daughter Julie is trying to outdo her mom in the adventure business. Julie and a group of young adults will spend 10 weeks crossing the US (4.400 miles) on their bicycles to benefit The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults.
“I am riding because I want to do something above
and beyond just raising money for cancer,” said Julie. “I feel that when people
find out what an amazing opportunity the ride is, it gets them thinking about
the smaller things they can do.”
We’ll be following Julie’s cross-country adventure
beginning with her June 2 departure from Baltimore. Check in often to share her experiences.
Here’s her route:
After leaving Baltimore’s Inner Harbor riders head
north to southern Pennsylvania then strike west through Ohio and Indiana and
then curl up to Chicago, IL. From the Windy City, riders travel through
Iowa and Nebraska before landing in Boulder, CO. From Boulder, the route
takes a distinctive northern turn into Wyoming’s Teton National Park then
continues west again through Idaho and into Oregon.
