Ocean 2 Ocean

Donald Forth is bicycling across the US in support the JCS Heroes.

After two unsupported bicycling tours with his sons and participating in the ultra-distance Trans Am Bike Race, Don will be bicycling solo approximately 3,100 miles from Santa Monica, California to Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Don will be following old Route 66 starting at the Pacific ocean, crossing California, the Mojave Desert, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and up into Missouri where he will pick up USBR 76 and continue across Illinois, Kentucky and Virginia to the Atlantic ocean (9 states in total).

There will be no support vehicles following Don.  He will need to closely manage his food and water supply to not run out as there are long stretches with no access to services.  His lodging will mainly consist of sleeping out under the stars!

Don will be traveling light to allow for riding around 150 miles a day, which means just the clothes on his back and rain gear for inclement weather.

Each of the rides Don has done have been to raise money and awareness for JCS. Don looks at these as a small way to give back to those who have sacrificed so much for our country and our freedom.
