Now one might look at this and say, wait a minute! You said you were riding the perimeter of the United States. All I can say to that is this is Torrey's Ride. And therefore, there have been some edits to the route that results in a less strict interpretation of the perimeter of our nation.
If you live in any of the areas that we'll be traveling through, feel free to join us along the way. We'd love to see you and share in the joy of this experience.
