- Miscellaneous notes on planning a cross-country bike ride for summer 2005. Although this isn't the ideal time, it's the last time I'll have a chance to do it before I get tenure (12+ years away, most likely). Mostly for my own reference, though moominmolly, if you have comments I'd love to hear them.
