Riding my bike across America sat on my f#ck it list for 15 years.

Not because I couldn't do it. Because I kept telling myself the timing wasn't right. There is never a good time to leave your kids, your work and your life for two weeks. The time is never perfect.

So we picked a date and worked backwards. 9 of my closest friends and me, San Diego to St. Augustine, 3,000 miles, 8 states, 14 days.

We saw the country 16 miles per hour at a time. No news, no TV, no podcasts, nobody on their phones. Just the road and each other.

This is the whole thing. Every mile, every state, every campsite.

He is married to Spanx founder Sara Blakely.
