Jim's Cruise Across America!

The 2025 entries for this blog will be about a 1,200 mile bike ride from New Orleans, LA to Key West, FL beginning on April 20th. I originally chronicled my adventures as I biked 2,900 miles from San Diego, CA to St Augustine, FL in March and April 2019. And then the blog followed me in 2023 as I biked for 750 miles around Northern Minnesota on a trip that was mostly on paved trails. I hope you enjoy my posts.
