Follow the Around America Adventure at SportsGearGuidecom

May 16, 2005 -- The acclaimed adventurer Renata Chlumska is currently training and preparing for this great American odyssey. Where Renata cannot travel by kayak, she will attach it together with the rest of her equipment on a bicycle and ride until she is able to kayak again. The expedition will be self-supported in the sense that Renata herself will buy the food and supplies necessary along the way, when and where it is possible, meaning no supply drops and no organised outside support.

The distance around America (the lower 48 states) is about 11.200 miles and will take around 440 days to cover. The expedition will pass through spectacular terrain and a variety of weather conditions in 32 states: everything from the exposed Pacific Ocean coastline to the vast desert along the Mexican border, the wild water of the Rio Grande and the rugged Rocky Mountains.

The Around America Adventure will begin in Seattle, Washington, the 4th of July 2005. Renata will set out in a sea kayak near her home on Lake Sammamish, paddle through Puget Sound then head south along the West Coast to San Diego and the Mexican border. From San Diego Renata will then continue by bicycling through the desert along the border to the mouth of the Rio Grande near El Paso and then paddle down into the Gulf of Mexico. From here, Renata will follow the coastline down to Key West before heading north along the East Coast, past New York City and up the coastline to Maine and all the way to the Canadian border. Renata will bike along the border through Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York, then pull out the kayak to paddle through the Great Lakes. The final challenge will be a 2,000-mile bike ride through the Great Plains, through the Rockies and Cascade Mountains before arriving back in Seattle approximately 440 days later.

SportGearGuide.com (http://www.SportsGearGuide.com) will follow Renata during the whole adventure and keep all interested readers updated on the progress.
