Wow that looks amazing. I just moved out of Knoxville, so reading about your day there made me miss it a bit.

A few years ago, a buddy and I biked down the west coast, and it was probably the best thing I've ever done. I noticed you guys arent planning any rest days - we did the same thing, and I think it was a mistake. Towards the end of the trip, both of our knees were really starting to hurt, but we just pushed on. I was still getting pains in them for another year or so after the trip. Something to watch out for.

Yeah, we didn't initially budget in any rest days, but their necessity became apparent quickly. We've actually taken a rest day in Memphis and Bolivar, TN so far.

Besides, what's the fun in blowing everything by? Thanks for reading.
