I propose that I will visit Subway restaurants from Kodiak to Key West as I ride my bike to find my America. I hope to capture each stretch of road and the character of each town along the way. I want to meet the people of our great country. This is the pilot I created for the Kodiak Subway owners to gain sponsors for my great quest to find my America.
Subway on Center Street Kodiak, Alaska
Owner Dan Rohrer
I hope to offer to make local radio or TV commercials for any willing Subway as I visit each town. Here is a local radio commercial I recorded for Subway of Kodiak.
I hope to to visit many subways along the way.

Wow! This is cool. I'd go with you if I thought I had the time and could keep up with you.
John, I will definitely be following you along the way! I wish Caleb could do this with you. So is Subway sponsoring you? By the way, I love the Snapz ad you posted. I especially love your partner(s) in advertising! (That would be my beautiful and creative daughter-in-law as writer and daughter as fellow-banterer). Praying for a great tour! What are the dates?
When are you filming again at the local subway? I want to be interviewed!
My sub is the turkey and cheese on flat bread.
I love the ballet in America!
Hey. I heard you on the radio today. All that riding must make you hungry. Do more radio commercials.
Water Parks! Yes. I love water Parks too.
hey, I'm replying to your comment on Seattle Bike Blog...
Bellingham, WA is the southern terminus of the Alaska ferry system - it's about 100 mi No of Seattle and is a calm small city with fairly easy bike friendly access (inland to Rte 9 or directly south on Chuckanut Drive) to bike friendly highways.
Depending or where you're headed after making landfall in WA you could either head east over the Mts on Hwy 20 at Sedro Wooly, head south through Seattle/Tacoma or skip over to the Olympic Peninsula via ferry from Whidbey Island to Port Townsend.
good luck
Hi John,
I'm responding to a question your posted, on another blog, about touring bikes. As you probably well know, you have many choices in touring bikes. Here are three popular models, in ascending order of price: 1. Surly Long-Haul Trucker. 2. Rivendell Sam Hillborne. 3. Rivendell Atlantis. I leave it for you to research them. Also, check this thread from Bike Forums:

Thank you guys! I'll look into those bikes!!!
JAT Seattle, thank you as well! Ill have to seriously consider those trail choices.
Hi John,
I saw your comment on Seattle Bike Blog. There are several choices for crossing or going around the Cascades in Washington: Hwys 20, 2, 410, 12, and 14. Avoid I-90. I'd be happy to talk to you in detail. Feel free to email me at bill at billandlorene dot com.
Hello Bill, I will most likely send you an email as I approach discovering my trail. I will look into the paths you have suggested. thank you.
John: Good riding on your cross-country adventure! There's a Subway in Alpine, Texas, and a sandwich with your name on it. Hope to see you there.
Joe
Thanks Joe! Alpine,Texas sounds awesome!
WHAT AN ADMIRABLE AND EXCITING GOAL. WE WILL FOLLOW YOU ALL THE WAY. ALSO, WE CAN SEND YOUR VIDEO ON TO SOME BIKERS WE KNOW IN JACKSONVILLE, FL, SOME OF WHOM HAVE BIKED FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THIS WILL BE FUN TO DO AS WE EAT OUR "SUBWAY" SANDWICHES.
