Hi everyone.
This is about two weeks overdue now, but I completed my (what ended up being solo) self contained bike tour of North America. I didn't use a cyclometer, but I estimate 4000 miles. Seattle Washington, to Bangor Maine. I used the Adventure Cycling Maps (GREAT! it was a combination of their Northern Tier and North Lakes routes).
here is a little equipment list for those interested:
Bruce Gordon BLT w/ Bruce Gordon Racks
Arkel Panniers
EMS Moonshadow singlewall single person tent
Brooks B.17 touring saddle
Everything worked out great. No major problems.
You can see pictures and read some stories (though they got a little sparse after I ended up riding solo due to my brother's broken arm) at the following URL:

or just go to crazyguyonabike.com and search for my name:Dan Flannery
Enjoy!
