Expecting to pass through Chicago and depending on the timing, either go to NYC/DC or the northeast if it aligns well. I have ridden the Pacific Coast. Not a high mileage rider, but would probably attempt to target 50-60 miles per day. I am a CIS male who is 50. I am comfortable with riding companions of any gender or orientation. Be happy with company on any section. OBV the exact timeline is not yet set.
