Day 6! And like the rest of the days of biking, it was beautifully (and brutally) sunny! The day started at Kirk creek campground. There’s nothing that close to Kirk creek, so everyone had breakfast at the campground. Breakfast for Mike, Brittany, and I consisted of a large and
Today was even more beautiful than the last! With a lot more hills to climb, but the scenery was beautiful, and we had Fred and Aria join us! Tuesday night I told Mike, let’s get out of bed early and get rolling! Well, we were on our way there,
Today we entered Big Sur. And what a beautiful beautiful day. With a 20 mph tail wind, and always very gentle ups and downs, we felt like we were flying towards our destination. We forgot to do our morning yoga session this morning!! We packed up from camp pretty quickly,
Editors note: You’ll have to forgive the lack of photos on this blog. I’ve updated the blog since my last trip, but that broke my photo integration. Once I get back to San Francisco, I’ll fix the blog and re-add photo integration. You’ll just have to
Sunday started on a sad note. One of our intrepid bike tour members had to go back to SF to her students. Despite multiple options provided to Darragh from Brittany for substitute teachers (found on Craigslist of course), Darragh decided it best that she teach rather than “Joe from Tennessee.
Today started like most trips, with someone forgetting something. Namely Mark forgetting the map. Luckily, Mike was kind enough to drive me back home, to get the map. We rolled out of Mike’s driveway just before 9, after receiving personalized temporary tattoos from Brittany and wishing Joey good luck
Finally back in San Francisco (writing this journal entry on a real computer instead of a phone)! Today was unlike the rest of my trip. I pushed hard on the pedals, making it back in record time, and only stopped twice for food. Not too many pictures, because my phone
Today began not too great. The road turned in land, and there were lots of hills. Although the hills were beautiful, I wasn’t feeling too great (not sure why) and the rolling hills were a pain to keep enduring. Luckily, I ran into a few other bicycle tourists and
Today’s ride was incredible. With a 20 mph tail wind, there’s a odd sense of stillness when cruising down the road matching the speed of the wind. There’s only the hum of the tires on the pavement, the creek of a chain that badly needs to be
Today was filled with beauty. Beautiful beaches, bridges, light houses, normal houses, and fields. The sky cleared, the wind blew from the north, and a big smile was put on my face. The day started with rain though :(, but Austen and I were still laughing about some of the conversations
Well, it started to rain again, and that was a bummer. But today was a day filled with great food, good company, and a nice fire to end the day. The food was the highlight of the day, as we meandered up the South Fork of the Eel, getting ready
Back to the coast! We started at the very northern end of highway 1 today (again in the rain) and it was absolutely beautiful! Up and over the hill, down to the coast, out to Fort Bragg, setup camp, then went to North Coast Brewery for dinnner! I’m going
