ok, time to put some feelers out there...this might could happen, and it would truly be the experience of your life. perfect for retirees.
i'm a st. louis native, and have always had a strong interest in the story of the lewis & clark expedition.
i've lived at both the beginning and the end of their route. and at times i've dreamed of bicycling it.
here i am, sitting in alaska, waiting for next spring to head back to washington state & continue my long-ride. been watching the ken burns version of the corps' story this evening, when it struck me...well, DUH!!
summer 2011, astoria oregon to st. charles missouri, a discovery corps of motor-assisted-bicycles, retracing the original route as much as possible.
need to open discussion early, there's (sorry to say) some MB-politics would need to be worked out, because i'd like to involve the media and bring production along with us...and of course the tons of other logistics. all makes welcome, all styles welcome, but consistent mechanical standards are a must...i'll throw my experience, connections, and limited funds into the hat...who else is in?
