When I crossed America on my bicycle, I put together a route that incorporated a couple of existing and well-used routes, made a few enhancements, and ended up with a collection of roads across the continent that allowed me to experience the back-roads of our nation without heavy traffic. It took me through America’s Heartland, which is what I wanted. This article details that route out for the reader, including maps and turn by turn directions, as well as road and condition descriptions.
