Running shorts, not gym shorts. There's a big difference. I've toured before and never used Lycra. Seattle to San Diego twice, Cincinnati to Seattle and Seattle to Green Bay. I do wear padded shorts under my running shorts though. Then again I also don't wear a helmet which seems to be a sin here in America Much less fret about it where I grew up at in Germany. Almost all vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, and seeds contain some, and often much, protein. I get plenty from all of these on a daily basis. Thank you! I will check it out today.

Yeah, that would be cool. I can copy and paste what I'll have on my main website. Where can I find your blog? I'll take a look. Thank you!

Doesn't look like the quotes are working.... Oh well. Dirtyhip: That might be the best video I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing. Bikeman: I'm working on a website that will be up in February. I'll be blogging on it and posting photos. I'll post the link on here if I am allowed to do so. Not sure if that would be considering "advertising" though. Can a mod weigh in?

What's the Rodale one? If you're allowed to post here. Is it bad?

If you all go to the "Living Car Free" forum and look at the thread "Never had drivers license...," That was my thread. I'm 23 and never had my license so I started that thread. It blew up on there and that is what lead to me being banned. Who would have thought; Someone without a license posting in "Living Car Free." My user name there is the same as here: Ty0604

Thanks to everyone else for the replies that I didn't personally reply to

I'll play along with you. 1. Totally a cat person. Why? You can leave them alone for a few days and they can take care of themselves. 2. I'm not a fan of bacon but I don't eat much meat. Not vegetarian but I don't actively eat meat. 3. Peeing in the shower? Why not? 4. #42? Jackie Robinson? All I think about when I hear the number. 5. Parodies are fun

The only section of the ACA Route I'm following is from Missoula to West Yellowstone. Otherwise the other 5,000 miles are my own route. I appreciate the advise though! As for Lycra; I don't use it, even on long tours. I use running shorts and regular t-shirts. The only piece of "biking clothing" I use is padded shorts. What else did this person do that was stupid?

When is yours? And where were you born? Always like to ask when people have birthdays close to mine

Sure were! haha No, just my birthday; June 4th. I wont be taking any rides, period. Thanks for the advice. Will do! I'll be posting it soon. Right after Thanksgiving most likely. I designed my own route as compared to following the ACA route so it's a bit more work. Thanks to everyone else who posted "hellos!"

Thanks! I've looked at that site but wasn't a fan personally. I think it's the interface.

Good to know I'm not the only one

Thanks! Charlotte Web is a classic, love it. I'm not sure right now either. I like how I can quote multiple people in one reply instead of having to individually reply to everyone. That's new to me!

Thank you everyone for the replies! Thad: I'm working on my route right now. It's pretty much done, just tying up some loose ends. I'll be sure to post it when it's officially finished, sometime towards the end of the month!
