Routes
The trip takes three routes: Rockies, Sierra, and Ozarks. The Sierra route heads west across New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and California. Riders then travel north through Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and the Yukon. The Rockies route heads north to Oklahoma, northwest through Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Alberta and British Columbia. Previously, riders separated into two routes- Rockies and Sierra-, but a new route –Ozarks- was created to celebrate the organization’s 10th year anniversary. Major cities on the route include College Station, Houston, Little Rock, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, Minneapolis, Winnipeg, and Edmonton.
The routes separate after Day 1 and converge in Whitehorse, Yukon on Day 60. The last 10 days are ridden west to Anchorage together. Mileage for a typical day ranges between 50 and 100 miles, averaging roughly 65 miles/day with a few days' mileages reaching past the century mark.

Famous quotes containing the word routes:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
