I finally arrived in Portland, Oregon last night. Today is a day of getting my bike, last minute purchases such as fuel for my stove, and food. The bike was previously shipped and was waiting or me ready to go. Tomorrow I start riding from Hillsboro, OR to Astoria, OR. Not sure if I will make it all the way for it is exactly 100 miles and that would make for a very long first day. We see how it goes in terms of starting time, weather, how the bike handles, and how I feel to determine how how far I go.
It is 4218 miles from Astoria, Oregon to Jamestown, Virginia. Add another 100 miles from Hillsboro to Astoria and other side trips, it will be close to 4500 miles when I am done.
