I think to cycle across the US. Sangetsu, will definitely take you more than a month. Our trip is sketched out at 22 days cycling at very best, but will probably be more like thirty. Then again, we're amateurs and we've guessed our times quite generously.

The shortest and flattest route is from San Diego, California to Jacksonville, Florida. The record for riding a bicycle from coast-to-coast in America is 8 days. Needless to say, few people can make such a ride.
I used to be more of a serious cyclist, I would ride almost 500 kilometers a week. I used to live in Florida where the weather was usually hot and sunny, and where there was no winter.
I can't remember when the release date is for the 2010 Tour de France race map, but finding the old maps is easy enough. The race seems to run through Switzerland at least once every other year.
