We're bringing back one of the wackiest ideas in Pedalshift history — the Game of Chance! Using random number generators and the excellent Adventure Cycling Association routes, it's an unpredictable coast-to-coast bike tour from the Pacific to the Atlantic. When every turn is determined by chance the results are... surprisingly awesome?

In This Episode:

  • Revisiting the "Game of Chance" touring experiment from 2021

  • Using randomness to pick routes across ACA's national network

  • Riding (and re-riding) the Pacific Coast, Northern Tier, Lewis & Clark, TransAm, and more

  • Ferry crossings, backcountry climbs, and surprise state detours

  • How randomness can spark new route ideas and winter planning inspiration

Mentioned:

  • Adventure Cycling Association

  • Pacific Coast Route

  • Lewis & Clark Trail
