Back to the Mountains

It was a great experience riding down the coast for me and Charlie. Definitly one that I will always remember. Lots of good waves and biking on a daily basis for over a month....it was pretty nice. It was a trip of firsts for me. I've never done any type of touring on a bicycle and it was a good challenge for me on a lot of the days. Especially when you are hauling a surfboard and wet suit....I never surfed the areas we biked through and it was great being able to surf Oregon and Northern Cali. I really enjoyed the Oregon coastline and the surfers that are in that area. It takes a certain craziness to paddle out in big, cold, sharky waters and I respect that. I liked the laid back and welcoming line-ups of Oregon. Its an awesome place!!! Sitting back and thinking about the trip brings up some great memories. We met some good people along the way and I would like to thank everyone for their generosity. We stayed with Brenden and Kathryn in Eureka and stayed with Shavon in Santa Cruz. I can't thank them enough for giving us a roof over our head for a little while. We met people named biscuit and wolf which was pretty interesting and enjoyed the talks around the fire at the hike and bike campsites. Right now in Montana it is snowing...CRAZY!! and I am gearing up for the winter season. I will be back to the coast when I get a chance and back on a bicycle when the snow melts away....Thinking Oregon might be the place for me....Look for me in the line-up!!!! PEACE

What a Trip! 800+ miles of coastline biking and surfing

The trip has come to an end...we have some things to take care of so we can get ready for the winter season. It has been an amazing trip and we are now in Santa Cruz California where we sold what we needed to sell and will be taking the Amtrak back to Astoria. I will add another blog as soon as possible highlighting some of the great experiences we have had....Peace and enjoy life's adventures!!!!!

Golden Gate Bliss and half moon hope

We are currently somewhere out side of san fran! my geustamation is about ten miles from the bridge itself, we are looking foward to cross the bridge and see the city, and jump back on highway one back to the coast! its going to be a long day probably close to 60 miles to our hopefull destination, halfmoon bay state park( the next hiker biker state park that we know of). We are here at the library hopeing for email replies from warmshowers.com a cycling website much like couch surfer .com but so far to no avail, so we will be heading to half moon bay as soon as we are done here! Half moon bay is where the famed mavricks surf break is! wellp, just wanted to check in since we had the time! thanks again for everyones support!

50 or so miles to san fran!

Hey all! we are close to san fran! about fifty or so miles yeeehaa! this is where it gets a bit tricky finding places to stay, so if you are reading this and know of anyone who lives off of rt 1 on the coast who would be willing to give up some yard space for two weary bikers, that would be great! just let us know,, my email is inmysearch@yahoo.com thanks! any who, WE are at point rays a small town with luckily a library, Ryan surfed at salmon creek yesterday with 8 foot waves and fog rolling in, The waves looked fun and steep with short to moderate rides! We stayed in yet another state park last night, with free showers!! and a small plaza just a mile and a half down the road where we were able to get some loundry done and treat ourselves to a beer! we hope to be through san fran by sun no later, so once again if yall know anyone out there give me a holler please!
untill we meet agian.
