My name is Steve Garufi and I am the webmaster of Bike Across America. I created this web site in April 2006 to be an encouraging and positive place for people seeking information about bicycling across America. One of my personal dreams is to peddle from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, and to enjoy the adventure of bicycling across this great land. Presently, I am largely a road biker and I tend to enjoy leisurely-paced tour biking ... and going long distances.

My plan is to bicycle across america in February-april 2007, beginning in San Diego and finishing in south Georgia.

Being that I live in Colorado, the most mountainous state in the lower 48, I have ample opportunities to get into shape on the bike. Please feel free to visit the Bicycling Forum if you have any questions or comments, and by all means, if you have ever bicycled across America, please give a trip report on that forum! All of us who haven't done it need your encouragement! -Steve :)
