The Route

Starting in Yorktown, Virgina I'm gonna cross the Appalachians and their hilly outskirts.
At some point I'll reach the great plains where headwinds and the heat might be issues more than elevation gain.
Crossing the Rocky Mountains will be my next goal, followed by the extreme loneliness of Utah's and Nevada's deserts.
At Lake Tahoe I'm finally gonna enter California. One more climb - Sierras this time - and eventually the beautiful San Francisco Bay will come into sight, where such a trip traditionally ends by dipping the front wheel into the Pacific Ocean.

Without any misleadings or turnarounds we're talking about 3757 miles or 6046 kilometers.
For comparison: That's even more than from the southermost point of Europe(Tarifa, Spain) to the northernmost(North Cape, Norway).
