Total mileage, & my Grease Burner

So this is to quench the thirst of many of you who are wondering how many miles i will be riding. From Astoria, OR to Yorktown, VA is 4247.5 miles, and then i am adding Seattle to Astoria and that distance is about 179 miles. So that is around 4426.5 miles plus my side riding and excursions to sleep and eat and break.

I thank the many of you who encourage, and support me in this effort to ride my bike accross america to eventually end up in Indonesia to rebuild kids bikes.

I thought this was funny, i just read a quote from a guy on the Adventure Cycling website it said this.

What gets the equivalent of 1,000 miles per gallon, doesn't pollute, will save the world, and transports you in breezy style? Your bike.
- Mark Jenkins

What makes this more funny is that, i can say what burns 20mpg pollutes less than Gasoline, and is the way of the future and smells a lot better than burning fossil fuels.
My Grease Burner, 300d mercedes that runs on used vegetable oil.

Its my baby but ive been realizing i dont need 2 cars and the money can go toward something better. So if you want to be a part of the Renewable fuel movement please buy my car. $2000 and its yours.
