Yes, Seattle to NY via Canada (Ice Fields Parkway! Yeah!). I was 21. I'm 57 now and I'd do it again in a heart beat if I'd the time. Budget 50-60 miles a day and in a month you'll be 1/2 way. A long x country trip is like no other. Takes ~2 weeks to adjust to pace. Our 6 person group started slow and finished strong though we had more than our share of broken spokes, flats, wrecks, broken bike frames (mixte), arguements, etc. After a month I felt like I'd been on the road my entire life. Do it now.
