I am less then a week from departure on my IBA 48-Plus or 7/49 if you will, and I still don't have a solid route. That to me is not bad, it just means that I am considering options and playing out different scenarios. From the beginning, I have planned to ride some or all of Ron Ayres' original route from 1996, in which he set the record for the fast time to visit 49 states (just a bit over 7 days). When Ron did his ride, he departed from his home in Plano, TX and rode to Maine, with a next day start on his epic ride. Ron's ride is documented in this book.
I have toyed with the idea of officially starting from here and going to Kittery, Maine, and then liking up with Ron's route coming back down. In the end, I think I will just do a leisurely ride up to Kittery, Maine on 17 May and depart from Kittery in the early morning of 18 May. More to follow.....
