Why I'm doing this

Mostly for the adventure. Some for the challenge. I'm not that big into biking. I'm not huge into traveling either. In fact, I picked up biking mainly to do something like this.

The original idea came from walking the Great Wall of China a few years ago (part of it!). I very much enjoyed the 4 hour hike and I looked around for ways to replicate this in the states. I ended up stumbling upon bike touring, and decided it was something I wanted to do. I suppose I wouldn't mind hiking in the states either, but there are certain things I'm not a huge fan of (camping, bugs, animals, knee problems).
