TransAm 1999

It was twenty years ago today (divided by two, and about a month from now) that we left Williamsburg for Astoria with eleven other riders on an Adventure Cycling expedition. If you find this, know that we're in the process of scanning and uploading a complete set of photos and commentary from that trip, so you might want to wait for a bit and check back with us. But if you were one of our group that wonderful summer, please drop us a line!

Our official starting point, the Governor's Palace in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Group shot! Jamestown.
We dip our rear wheels in the Chesapeake Bay. What no one seems to mention is that doing this is work-- a loaded bike is a heavy load to drag through sand!
Our first campsite, and our first campsite map meeting.
Waiting for dinner, first day out. We think that Josh and Gavin were the cooks this evening and that the meal was shepherd's pie and mushy peas.
Our camp in Mineral Point, Virginia, on the third day-- the first of many fair grounds. We were also in back of a fire station.
Fourth day on the road. We (at least Lyn & I) believe at this point that the route is fully signed and that we will never get lost.
