Route:

Bike and Build offers several routes across the United States. The one I have chosen is the Central US route. You can track my progress on the home page of this site. Each day the site is updated to indicate where on the route we currently are.

After a two-day orientation at Virginia Beach, we'll head west through Virginia, towards the group's first Build Day in Blacksburg by Virginia Tech. We'll use eastern Virginia to warm up our legs before crossing over the Blue Ridge Mountains and into West Virginia. From there, it's flat all the way across the Midwest and the Heartland (via Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas) until the Rockies in western Colorado. We'll spend two days in Jackson, WY before crossing across Idaho, through Oregon, and on to the Pacific.

Here is a quick overview of our route schedule.
