Finally, as my active professional life slowly comes to an end, I've managed to realize my long-awaited dream of cycling across the USA from coast to coast. I was inspired very early on by the movie Once Upon a Time in the West. And of course by diverse long training and competition sessions for my triathlons. Due to numerous interests, I have decided to publish a blog covering the trip during the tour, as some fellow cyclists have already announced to accompany me on a few stages. It may even turn this into a larger group event. After having tested my physical capabilities on a tip through Thailand I adapted the tour. Instead ob going the east coast up to Boston I will go to Key West. This helps to incorporate running trainings and break days. Biking across USA is still the aim. From Pacific to Atlantic Ocean!
