Day 21 – Star Gazing At The Grand Canyon

We head out early morning before we catch major heat and we set out for Grand Canyon National Park. Our first stop today was at Calico’s in Kingman, Arizona, for some food. It’s late in the morning so it’s more like brunch at this point. We eat and head out.    We make it to 64, which is right off…

Day 19 – We Came, We Saw, We Conquered

It was an early start today. The plan was to get to LA as early as possible so we could still roam around. We get on 101 south for a few miles until we get to Los Olivos and then take a shortcut through 154 which will take us past Lake Cachuma. We pull into a little park next to…

Portugal

Cool salty breezes, waves crashing against the sand found at the bottom of an unsaturated yellow cliff, all while tracing this prefectly imperfect shoreline. This western most country in the European Union is quiet enough to not suffer from an influx of tourism allowing the locals to bask in the glory that is this nation’s secrets. Infinite beaches, uneven terrains…

You Can’t Make This Shit Up

While enjoying the company of my fellow riders and our wonderful host, Mark, over my insisted upon touristy clam chowder lunch and my phone rings. Area code says it hails from Colorado. A familiar voice is on the other end, Brook Reams, who you might remember vouched for Clem back in Denver. Turns out Brook had been following this blog,…

I Hope The Universe Loves You Today

A while back I was faced with the statement “that’s going to be a hard trip” from multiple people once I made mention of this journey. I’d scoff and reply with “if it was easy everyone would do it”. In fact, I went on to say that I was looking for hardship and welcomed the struggle so as to learn…

West Side

An easy 240 miles seperate us from the San Francisco area which, given our circumstances, is 4 stops for battery charging. We depart from Reno nice and early and it’s not long before we cross the state line. We’ve regretfully flown passed other ‘Welcome To ____’ signs on this trip but we all agreed that the California one would be…
