About me: My name is Judy Steffes and I have a bad bicycling habit. I'm flying to LA this year, biking to Simi Valley to tour the Ronald Reagan Library and then bicycling home. Some call it crazy, I call it vacation. I will plan each day as it comes; armed with a state map, advice from locals, and a general direction east. I'm traveling solo and will log a travel journal about back roads, small towns, unique shops and people - it's a bit of Americana on a bike. The tour starts June 23.
