I was talking with a friend of mine and I playfully suggested biking across country upon graduating college (next May/June) and the more we talked about it the more I liked the idea. Relatively cheap, great excuse to get in amazing shape, etc. etc. etc.
2 important things though:
1) I don't know how to bike. I obviously can stay upright without training wheels but I know my posture, movement, etc are wrong for the types of distances I need to be doing. I need someone who can show me how to ride correctly in preparation for those long rides.
2) I need a partner to ride with during the next 10 months. The friend that I am going to actually do the ride with is moving to the midwest for more school so the best we can do is tele-train by sharing workouts and whatnot.
I'm in fairly ok shape because I play lacrosse but summer is always my off time. So I would have to start off fairly slow but could add distance to rides quickly.
If anyone here thinks it would be fun/interesting to take on a protege, please let me know!
Thanks in advance for any help or words of encouragement at all.
