I remember Bikecentennial in 1976. Good times, tube socks, homemade trail mix, cooler drivers.

I could never do this. I prefer my meat fresh (squirrels, rabbits, snakes) but carrying a 22 on the trail would freak everyone out completely, I would say.

We are planning on moving soon, so I just threw out a bunch of bicycling magazines from the mid 70s. Maybe I should have stuck them on eBay?

I rode Bikecentennial in 1980, westbound. The maps, prepared in 1976, featured a lot of rest stops, gas stations and restaurants in rural areas that might have been there in 1976, but were long gone by the time I got there. It was a great experience.
