Day: 92 I woke Aaron up about an hour or so after I woke up, had some leftover pitas and peanut butter, we paid for another night at the campground, then decided to head up to Monterey to go to the aquarium. After a beautiful/hilly (cringe!) drive north for thirty miles we arrived in Monterey. [...]
Day: 91 I got out of my sleeping bag excited today (but freezing cold, easily my coldest night yet), Aaron was on his way up to spend three nights with me; and to tell the truth the absolute loneliness of this trip is really getting to me. It’s not like the European alone, where there [...]
Day: 90 Stumbling into the Lime Kiln campground just after one o’clock, six hours (& 41 miles) after leaving San Simion this morning and riding Moanahh up and down PCH where the Santa Lucia Range meets the ocean. When I got here I found that they have no Hike and Bike area, disappointed I shelled [...]
Day: 89 Now this entire trip I have been staying in sites in the California campground system reserved for people who either Hike in or Bike in. The cheap price ($2-$5) per night is a way for the state parks to encourage this type of travel, in some areas (mostly populated areas like Pismo and [...]
Day: 88 I heard Charity and Spooner’s alarm go off at six am and tried to pretend I was asleep while they got up and started getting everything ready for their “Estate Sale”. That lasted about fifteen minutes and I was up, putting away my fold out couch and on my way with Spooner to [...]
Day: 87 I woke up excited today (and a little hungover), about my first couchsurfing experience. I was heading into San Luis Obispo to stay with a couple who told me I could sleep on their couch. Random, but should be an interesting day none the less. I started my day at the Starbucks on [...]
Day: 86 One last look at the map before I left at six AM. I can take the 70 mile route to Pismo via PCH with a 400 foot pass and lots of coastal wind, but only a few hills. Or I can take the 101 (which isn’t really recommended because its dangerous to be [...]
Day: 85 I woke up with the sun this morning (like 5:30) then after a piss, quickly decided to head back to my sleeping bag. I woke up again about an hour later and packed up my camp, loaded my bike and decided to try to make it to Gaviota; which was nearly fifty miles [...]
Day: 84 The sun came up, and I woke up. Didn’t even bother to check the time until I had broken down my camp and was about to set out for the days ride. 7:10am. The sun was just breaking through the fog and mountains as I hit PCH. I rode hard for the first [...]
Day: 83 4:10 am, my alarm starts to beep me awake, signaling the start of the next leg of The World Tour. I haven’t blogged for a week now and haven’t done any hard core traveling in three. The last few days I have been itching to get back out on the road. I drug [...]
