ROUTE MAPS

One of the most common questions we get is, "How did you plan your route?" The answer to that question is simple: we didn't have to! Adventure Cycling has a complete set of cycling maps that got us from San Francisco, CA all the way to Boston, MA without any guesswork or route planning necessary. These maps are extremely detailed and contain routes that are hand-selected by the cyclists at Adventure Cycling to be among the most safe, scenic, and enjoyable. In addition, the maps list camp sites, motels, restaurants, bike shops, and other services along the route, complete with phone numbers and addresses. The full set of cross-country maps are available from the Adventure Cycling online store. There are also many other sets of bicycling maps available for travels in other parts of the country. We thank Adventure Cycling wholeheartedly for this indispensable resource. The only planning we needed to do was to determine the next day's mileage based on the current travel conditions and accommodations available. Below is a map of our cross-country route.
