Skateboarding Across the U.S., the World???
Any suggestions for this guy:
Hello Stan,
My name is Rob Thomson, and I am skateboarding around the world (long story). After crossing the Atlantic on a yacht, I am now about to arrive in Florida to begin skateboarding across the US following the US Adventure Cycle Association's Southern Tier route. I noticed your online journal on the US Adventure Cycle Association's website, and I thought I would drop you a line.
My website about my travels is at www.14degrees.org/en. Basically, in July 2006 I left Japan intending to cycle to England and ended up cycling 7,500 miles across Asia and Europe to Switzerland. In Switzerland I sent my bicycle home and skateboarded the remaining 1,000 miles to England. In England I decided to try to get back to New Zealand without using an airplane - overland by skateboard, over water by yacht.
I managed to get on a yacht delivery from the Canary Islands to the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, and I have spent the last month trying to find a boat to crew for passage on up to the US. Finally I have found one, and I am leaving today for the Bahamas. I hope to arrive in Florida (either Ft. Lauderdale or Miami) by the 15th of December at the latest.
I will be heading over to Tampa after I arrive in Florida, as I have friends there. I wonder if you know of any particular bike shops or book stores in Miami/Ft.Lauderdale that carry the US Adventure Cycle Association's Southern Tier route maps? I haven't been able to get a hold of the maps yet, and I hope to get them once I arrive in Florida.
Kind regards,
Rob Thomson
