We were up early this morning and took advantage of the slim breakfast offered by the hotel (well Adam did, I had bananas, coffee and juice as the other options were soy-laden). We set off in the sunshine 🙂 Armed with our "Cycling the Oregon Coast" map, we headed out. The bridge out of Astoria... Continue Reading →
Day 132 – Aberdeen to Cape Disappointment – Some rain, lots of clouds, some hail, and some sun!
Today we started out in the pouring rain from our motel in Aberdeen. The road wound out of town and towards Raymond with a wide shoulder and very little traffic, both of which we enjoyed! The rain was relentless and we saw many logged areas, along with signs telling us about how trees had blown... Continue Reading →
Day 130 – Brinnon to Aberdeen
This was our hardest day in a long while. We woke a bit late because of the raccoons and had to cover 90 miles if we were to get to Aberdeen and a motel before the oncoming storm. We pushed hard all day. The first part along the Hood Canal was beautiful, with a reasonable... Continue Reading →

Day 124 – Arrived in Victoria – 7500km and the end of our trip across Canada!
When we woke up this morning, the air was a bit chilly but it seemed that the sun might come out. We packed up the tent and headed west towards Victoria. We decided that we would detour to the Bouchart Gardens on our way down. Amazingly, there were marked cycling routes the entire way! When... Continue Reading →
