« Previous EntriesSome holiday gift ideas…
Sunday, November 29th, 2009The holidays are here and Laura and I have been busy working on some bike touring gift ideas. I’ve wanted to sell prints from our trip for awhile but haven’t found a system that I’ve been happy with. We rode with some readers from Santa Monica the other day (both photographers) and they suggested [...]
A lot to be thankful for…
Thursday, November 26th, 2009Laura and I are doing the Tour d’ Parents this week for Thanksgiving. Yesterday we rode from Long Beach to Orange and spent the night at her dad’s house. This morning, we hopped a few trains to get from Orange to North Hollywood and rode to my parent’s house in Sunland. [...]
Strangers in a strange land?
Friday, November 20th, 2009We are in Long Beach visiting friends and planning the next leg of our trip. While familiar and comforting, it seems a bit strange to be back. Sort of like visiting the old office you use to work at or dropping in your old highschool teacher to catch up. We’ve been away [...]
Dream of a dream…
Monday, November 16th, 2009After a day in Yosemite we decided to bolt back to Long Beach. As much as we wanted to stay an extra day and pedal further south, Long Beach was calling. We needed to make some money. My birthday was on Friday and I wanted to spend it with friends. After [...]
Touring in Yosemite
Friday, November 13th, 2009Through a good deal of luck and serendipity, Laura and I were passing close to Yosemite just as our friend Chris and his friends were planning to ride into Yosemite. We connected on the phone a few days before, looked at some maps and found that we would be able to rendezvous together and [...]
Greetings from Yosemite
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009It’s beautiful here. It’s cold. We can’t quite believe we rode our bikes here, but here we are! Laura has never been here before. I use to come here when I was young. It is awe inspiring and grander than even my memories. Yosemite by bike is a must!
More snaps: Sonora to Yosemite Bug Hostel
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009While in Sonora, one of our Facebook fans gave us a lead for a home stay (thanks!). Our home stay was to be with Jeff Boatman of Carousel Design Works. Jeff has combined the philosophy of ultra light backpacking with his love of bicycling. The result is a series of rackless bags [...]
Behind every Bike Mustache…
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009Laura has been getting some new orders for bike mustaches, the ultimate way to express your sense of style, sophistication and humor on your bike. With the new orders, we thought it would be cool to show you what goes behind each one.
This particular bike mustache was made here, at Bagby Recreational Area in [...]
Catching up in Photos: Sacramento to Gold Country
Friday, November 6th, 2009Yes. We’re still having fun despite some money woes. Here are some photos and captions to catch you all up!
We try to see Willie Weir at the REI in Sacramento. Despite pleading our case, that we were in the middle of our tour, that we’ve ridden 2000 miles to see Willie, we [...]
