If you can bike, sign up to know when Sean will be coming by your area
Sean will be riding across America, about five thousand miles, and chances are he will be making a stop in your city. If you’re physically able to, come ride with him for an hour, a day, a week. Ride segments are in the final stages of being finalized, so sign up on the right in order to receive an e-mail for when registrations are ready.
We've created a best estimate of the schedule for the ride across USA. These dates are set in stone, however this stone is more like sandstone and could be subject to change! There are links next to each travel date that will take you to a map of the route with turn-by-turn directions and access to the GPX track.
