Q: Do you really intend to ride round the Pacific on a bicycle?
A: Yes, I really intend to ride around the Pacific on a bicycle.
Q: What, all of it?

Then again, I’m getting there from Britain so I’m doing some bits that aren’t remotely near the Pacific:
Q: So where do you go when you’re not near the Pacific?
A: From Britain I’ll ride down to Lisbon and then fly to Miami, and won’t hit the Pacific seaboard until I get to San Francisco – and then when I get to China I’ll go quite a long way inland, miles away from any ocean at all. All in all though, a Pacific ride is (roughly) what I’m setting out to do.
Q: So where exactly are you going again?
A: See my Route Page!

A: If you have to ask …
