Having read what you wrote, I would do 2 things differently: 1. go in a warmer part of the year, and 2. just fly over to Italy, buy a bike there, ride to Britain, sell the bike there, fly back home.
We west coasters should ride the entire west coast. However, here is my own confession. I rode down from Vancouver on April 1, and reached San Diego around April 20, with stops at friends' places along the way. Unfortunately, it was grey, wet and somewhat cold throughout Washington and Oregon, and did not dry and warm up till northern California. The rest was pure pleasure. The expenses were minimal - fuel and food, that's it.
Yes, please do write an epic piece. I'll be the first to lap it up.
