My name is Chris Miller and I want to walk the length of the Eastern Coast of the United States.
Sounds crazy right?
You see there’s this Bike path called the East Coast Geenway which stretches from Canada all the way down to the Florida Keys. I have never been to the Florida Keys.
But it’s a Bike Path Right? Why Walk?
Anyone who knows me knows that I suffer from a curse, a dark curse that prevents me from riding any bicycle for too long. You see once I am enjoying the ride, one or both of the tires will deflate. They will find some reason to pop and I will be again forced to walk, this time with the bike in tow as extra baggage.
What does that have to do with this website?
I had planned on being dropped off at the northern most part of Maine at the Canadian border and Biking all the way to the Florida Keys, with a stop off at home in between, to raise money for Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island.
But between work and the economy I never got around to setting the whole thing up. Besides which the already mentioned curse put a serious damper on my ability to get in shape for the trip.
But I still want to go, and walking is what I enjoy so thats how I’m going to do it.
The problem is that a trip like this will take some money. Not just on the road expenses like food and water, but at home expenses like rent.
So I am selling everything I own here on this website to raise the money to make this trip possible.
Right now I’m just building the website and trying things out but I hope to have a timeline up soon.
Until then I’ll be spending my time on the Blackstone River Bikeway, walking.
