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
