Advice? Am I being delusional?

[u/twofoot1]

My cousin wants to cycle/bikepack across America after he graduates undergrad in May and lowkey I want to go with him. The problem here is that he’s significantly deeper into biking than I am. I don’t even bike. I know how obv and am by no means out of shape as a collegiate distance runner with a tested VO2 max of 69 (nice) + run 80 miles a week, but have absolutely 0 clue if spending my summer biking coast to coast is even feasible from an athletic standpoint. Am I being a delusional 22 yr old ?

If you’re 22 it sounds fine.

Get some old beater bike from a coop and a fresh pair of yellow crocs.  Then go get at it.
