Saturday, June 16, 2012 Carmel to Big Sur 29 miles The road out of Carmel went right past the Mission, so we stopped briefly to take pictures. People were gathering for a wedding there, so it wasn’t a very good time to tour it, anyway. What a sweet day of riding! We kept looking at […]
Friday, June 15, 2012 Monterey to Carmel 12 miles We decided to take today off ahead of the dramatic climbing we expect to encounter on the road to Big Sur. Some days off days mean no riding at all, but we did want to at least jump ahead to Carmel, on the other side of […]
Thursday, June 14, 2012 Sunset State Beach to Monterey 36 mile As we broke camp this morning, we knew if we went back the way we came in to the campground, we would have to go up and down two or three hills. If we could leave from the south end of the park, it […]
Wednesday, June 13, 2012 Ano Nuevo to Sunset State Beach 46 miles Another slow start today, but less slow than the last two days! I had a hard time waking up because I didn’t sleep very well. At 3:15am, I had bolted awake, sure that a raccoon was skulking outside my tent, trying to figure […]

Monday, June 11, 2012 San Francisco to Half Moon Bay 33 miles I spent the morning having a great time talking with Lori, at her place outside of Berkley. We have alot of ex related things in common, among other things. Sometimes it’s validating just to talk those things out. Just as she was explaining […]
Sunday, June 10, 2012 ORD to SFO I had planned to fly in, take the BART directly to REI, pick up my bike, put it back together, meet Sadie, and ride south. But there was no biking today. I checked my tracking number last night, and my bike was scheduled to be delivered Monday, tomorrow. […]
Saturday, June 9, 2012 Rogers Park to Wicker Park, Chicago 8 miles I fly to San Francisco in the morning to meet Sadie and start riding down the coast to San Diego, but I started riding with my gear tonight. It’s really easy to get to O’Hare airport using public transportation in Chicago, but from […]
