We are those crazy people…
Thursday, September 24th, 2009Many years ago in our pre-cycling years, Laura and I did a road trip from Los Angeles to Vancouver, Canada in a car. It was somewhere in the Redwoods that I saw my first bike tourists huffing up the hill with bags on their bikes and sweat pouring down their faces. I saw [...]
Days 49-54: Eugene, OR to Harris Beach S.P.
Thursday, September 24th, 2009Days 49-50 took us from Eugene to Winchester Bay. We decided to make our way to the coast and take the coast route south to San Francisco.

We also explore the little [...]

Friday, September 18th, 2009Two years ago, Laura and I went on a tour with some friends down the Oregon coast. It was our first big tour and everything was so intimidating and harrowing. Perhaps the toughest stretch of the trip which has been forever etched in our minds was the two days from Reedsport to Eugene. [...]
A Zero Emission Portrait Session!
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009We were planning to push off towards the coast today taking Smith River Road, but we decided to stay an extra day so I could do a family portrait session with our hosts Shane and Missy. Coincidentally, they did a circumnavigation of the US by bike a few years ago! Shane is [...]
