Today is the 5-month mark since the start of our trip. We are staying just outside the Golden Gate Bridge tonight, and will be crossing it over tomorrow morning. We are currently just outside Fairfax and have another beautiful sunny day. It is supposed to go up to 75 degrees F ( 24 C!). We... Continue Reading →

We had French toast for breakfast then went for a quick walk to the beach through the dunes as the sun came up. Sections were very sandy but we were the only ones around and it was very scenic. We saw many birds at the beach, including two pelicans. After the hike we hit the... Continue Reading →

We had fried oatmeal for breakfast then hiked to the coast and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We got back on our bikes and headed south along highway 1, following the coast very closely. Since it was Sunday we were expecting traffic to get heavy throughout the day as people head back to the city, so... Continue Reading →

We've been blessed with fantastic weather lately and today was no exception. It felt much warmer this morning than it had been in the past couple of mornings. We planned on taking a short 60km jaunt to Stillwater Cove State Park today as we decided to have a relaxing cycling day. In the end we... Continue Reading →

We said good bye to Rob from our tent as he packed up and got an early start to the day (he was hoping to cover as many miles as possible today). We decided to get out of the tent when the sun was out. Katherine noticed a few mice had decided to hang out... Continue Reading →

We woke up warm and dry. The rain that had gone on for all day and all night had stopped, and although everything was drenched outside, it was looking to be a clear sunny day. Within seconds of getting back on the highway, Katherine noticed that she had a flat front tire. We quickly changed... Continue Reading →

We woke up to find out that it had not rained over night and our tent was dry. Rob started a fire with the firewood that we had packed away in the food cabinet. We packed up quickly and were ready to go a little after 7AM (the time change makes it early). The campground... Continue Reading →

We woke up shortly after 6AM and got ready to head out. Rob and I walked across the street to Subway to pick up breakfast while Katherine had her light breakfast of crackers and Orange Juice as she tried to recover from her food-poisoning adventures from the night before. Rob and I each had a... Continue Reading →

It had rained quite heavy overnight, but thankfully we awoke to cloudy and clearing skies. As we packed our wet tents and had breakfast, we noted the cyclist that came in last night was already gone. Katherine noticed his bike light as he left around 6AM in the morning! His late arrival the night before,... Continue Reading →
