What makes a journey epic? Is it the distance traveled? The lessons learned? Record setting feats? Is it life changing?
This weekend I’ll be embarking on an epic journey; a 3000 mile road trip from coast to coast across the United States. But it pales in comparison to the individuals I’ll be following, the cyclists competing in Race Across America. I’ll be driving along in a vehicle, while they’ll be peddling the entire way on bike. I’m looking forward to the inspirational stories of perseverance and triumph that I’ll discover and share. My job on the media team is to coordinate all the live streaming video for the 30th edition of this race. We’ll posting the live video updates on RaceAcrossAmerica.org. Be sure to follow @TravelBlggr and @DrivenByPete to stay up-to-date on our location. Also follow @RAAMraces for race information.

It started 1982 when four cyclists raced from the Santa Monica Pier in LA to the Empire State Building in NYC.

It’s nothing, but a feel that you have while going for that.
Everything brings a new feel.
