Our Route and Timeline

Route:

Here is a rough overview of where we will be going. We are using Bike the US for MS routes as well as Adventure Cycling routes.

NERD TIME:

According to my calculations, we will be riding 2.66/20.06 = 13.3% of the world's circumferential distance at 36.75 degrees North of the Equator.


Let's Check my math:

The distance around the Earth is approximately 17,400 nautical miles at 37 degrees North.
Our trip is approximately 3,785 miles.
3785/17400 = 21.8%

Kind of off, but it's all approximation! Still cool to think about (for me anyway :)
