Cycling from Kansas to Annapolis

Later in 2012, I’m planning on completing the second half of my cycling pilgrimage across the US. I’ll start in eastern Kansas, crossing Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia. From there, I’m still working on the route, and would love some first-hand advice on whether to take a northern fork through Cumberland and then down into Annapolis from the north, (much like the RAAM route), or take it straight east and through the DC area.

For now, here’s the route that’s pretty well-defined:

• Eastern Kansas
• Kansas into Missouri
• Across Missouri
• Across Missouri
• Missouri into Illinois
• Across Illinois
• Illinois into Indiana
• Indiana into Ohio
• Across Ohio
• Ohio into West Virginia
• Across West Virginia
• East from West Virginia… TBD

The route uses the Katy Trail across Missouri, but other than that, stays on secondary highways for now.
