Coast 2 Coast 2011 – March 12, 2011 to May 1, 2011
Are you ready to bike Coast To Coast without any of the hassle? If so, this is the tour you have been waiting for.
Starting in San Diego, CA. March 12, 2011 and ending in St. Augustine May 1, 2011, the weather will be perfect for your Coast To Coast Bicycling Adventure.
Average daily mileage of just over 60 with rest days incorporated for added enjoyment. This trip will be body friendly for sure. All the participants to understand my philosophy before registering for this event. This adventure is being planned to allow you a chance to view and get to know this country as you can do only from a bicycle seat. This Coast To Coast will be a trip across the United States, it just happens to be on a bicycle.
The “trip” is the most important factor. If you want to “race” across the United States chasing the white line, there are other tours which would suit you better.
If you wish to explore this country, meet locals, visit local attractions, see smell feel and taste this country like you can do only from the seat of a bicycle all while being PAMPERED, this is the trip you have been waiting for.
This is primarily a camping tour, however, there will be times you will be over-nighting in motels along the way as well. At times, the group will be sleeping inside a building on air mattresses in one big room.
You will be bicycling mostly on very lightly traveled back roads however at times on more heavily traveled roads.
This is a totally supported and PAMPERED tour. Sag vehicles, sag stops, route sheets, and of course PAMPERING.
What is PAMPERING? The tour will provide you with a top quality Kelty tent along with daily set-up and take down. Nice thick air mattress to sleep on, no thin therma-rest on this tour. Fresh towels and wash cloths daily. Cold drinks and snacks can be enjoyed under the E-Z Up canopies while sitting on deluxe camp chairs.
Meals will be a combination of eating out allowing you the chance to experience local flavor as well as freshly prepared meals in camp.
So, dip your rear wheel into the Pacific Ocean and your front wheel in the Atlantic Ocean, let me do everything in between.
After dipping your rear wheel into the Pacific Ocean in San Diego, CA, you will start heading east up and over the coastal California mountains into the deserts of Arizona. Crossing into the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico, you will be riding surrounded the beauty of the Chiricahua and Pelencillo Mountains. The wide-open spaces of Western Texas and the beautiful wild-flowers of the Texas Hill Country are sights you will never forget. The route flattens out as you head into Cajun Country, an area known for its great music and wonderful food. You will take a ferry across the Mississippi River, one of only two sections of the entire route you can make progress without pedaling. You will spend two days in Mississippi before hitting the white sand beaches of Alabama. A ferry ride across the Mobile Bay will take you into Florida. Finally, into Florida we head to the oldest city in the country, St. Augustine, where a front wheel dipping celebration awaits you.
Past riders have loved the route and all it offers. The constantly changing scenery is amazing. I am sure you will as well.

While working as a police officer, I took up bicycling as my way of keeping in shape and completed over 40 week long tours all over this beautiful country.
My retirement gift to myself was a self-contained, fully loaded, solo bicycle trip across the United States.
What an adventure it was. Rarely a day goes by which something does not trigger a memory of that wonderful trip.
In 2002, upon completion of my Coast 2 Coast trip, I started a business. Bubba’s Pampered Pedalers provides services on organized bicycle tours. You see, I understand what it is like getting off a bicycle after a hard day of riding.
In 2003, I started my own bicycle event, BubbaFest Florida Keys which is held annually each November. I also offer all-inclusive tours of the Space Coast of Florida during the winter months as well as the very best “official” charter of RAGBRAI. I am a proud member of the National Bike Tour Directors Association.
I pride myself in offering nothing less than the very best possible experience to all. Being second best is something I will neither strive for nor permit.
So, come along and you will see what I mean when saying…..
It’s ALL Good!
