|  My Epic Ride
Ok well you may not think it epic, but it will be to me. I am one of the 83% of college graduates who did not get a job offer this year. I have been able to save up some money, so I decided now is a great time to take a long bike trip. Who knows when I will have another opportunity.... I will be leaving June 13th and returning June 30th. My route is posted below. It is basically a loop from north Texas to California and back. If anyone would like to join me on any of the legs, just let me know. I would enjoy some company since I am otherwise doing this by myself. If you have any info about any of the legs, or just general long trip tips; let me know. day 1 - home to south llano SP PRINTED http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...&z=10<br /> 8 day 2 - south llano SP to Davis mtns SP TX PRINTED from:US-377 to:I-10 W to:TX-290 to:FM-2400 to:FM-2400 to:davis mountains state park - Google Maps Day 3 - Davis Mtns SP to Valley of Fires SP NM Stop by Carlsbad Caverns??
