Yeah, "bad decisions itt" is still going strong. I'm just saying my thoughts on what equipment and planning you'd need to do are very different with you only needing to make a three or four day bike ride rather than multiple weeks including crossing serious mountains to get there.

If you're riding from seattle we need to have a long chat because I've basically done that route, and you're gonna die. Its like a month and a half over some of the biggest mountain ranges in the country.

Unfortunately the normal methods I have used to fix my sleep schedule should probably not apply here due to the sober thing (serisouly, good job on that) but I would imagine you can just stay up all day, ride the bike so you are tired in the afternoon, eat a big meal and then pass the hell out at like 8-9pm. You are gonna get an awesome exercise high doing this touring, its the best high as its your body's own drugs.

You wanna be getting up at 5 or 6 in the morning imho. It is less hot and less windy in the morning, which is nice.

You might think so, but I'm actually shackled to this monstrosity because no one has a clean driving record and is insurable that can also drive a bigass three speed manual van.

Always, from everyone, NAPA Guy. He's got a giant building full of salvage cars just out of town. Not scrap, auction bought vehicles with a salvage title. He's the last stop for people who need wheels in my county. Or maniacs. I should bring 14" over to iowa for a day trip once he gets to Nebraska.

Hey. Guys. Guess what. IT'S HAPPENING:  So, uh. In the meantime, we need some advice for getting the bike and supplies to the destination. You can carry on a backpack, and you get one checked item. Said item must be under 50lbs and 62" You can get a second checked item for $15. Or pay to have it shipped for like $35-$45 I'll let Dave cover things more in-depth here once he starts posting.

I would check the bike with wheels off and bubble wrapped together or whatever he can come up with for first checked item and check a 50 pound bag of supplies for the second ($15). Backpack worn on the front packed tonthe gills is how I did the greyhound before (to keep thieves out of it). drat that ride is gonna be miserable!

Go to any bike shop in Seattle and ask for a bike box. Take the wheels off and pack the bike in the box, throw all the other poo poo into the box with the bike. Unless they're less strict in the USA than Canada, Greyhound won't take bikes which aren't in boxes anymore.
