Yellow 90s flashback drive-by

hit the sunshine in Arcata, which apparently never happens. chalk up another lucky mark for mr. kids. popped out of the Avenue of the Giants yesterday. listening to fleet foxes on the headphones created a sort of strange foresty magic that i was really in to..i felt like a troubador on a futuristic bicycle. anyway, made a pit stop in arcata today. wrote a love note on a napkin to a pretty girl with purple hair in a pizza shop. loaded up the baquette and baba ghanoosh for dinner. quick stop at Humbolt Uni. headed towards Patricks Point state park for sleepy time. shout out to the peeps in cold production pcmc. holla.

bearded pedal bikers

Sunday. Gooberdale. Gauberville. Hell I dont know where we are haha. Yesterday we made the monster 2500' climb into Leggett. It was a huge skyscraper on our topographical map, but pretty sure we made it feel like a sissy little girl instead. We stayed at a campground just on the other side, met 25 other cyclists from Vancouver heading south to Tijuana, and partied across the street at a local Fire Department/Harley Gang fundraiser. Music, BBQ, IPA, and of course a local Elton John impersonator, we danced and drank the free beer that Mike the firefighter kept bringing us. It was amazing. Leggett. What a gem. A lil star gazin at the sandy swimming hole till the wee hours, then back in the saddle today. Enter the redwoods...

one day at a time

helmets and headbands

hello everybodddy...
we are in Fort Bragg CA today. bout 160 miles or so north of Frisco. decided to stop and hit up the local laundromat...its a golden commodity, people. washing your skivs in a campground sink gets old after a few days. but everything is A ok. weather is pleasant, except for the hellish headwinds on some days. the ocean is amazing tho. ive been trying to con Cein into stopping for some BBQ oysters, but he's just not having any...otherwise the diet has been water, more water, and some energy bars. oh, today I ate two heaping platefuls of Chinese buffet goodness, with a pint of Hagen Daazs ice cream to boot. Thats my gasoline I guess. Anyway, the trip has been really great so far! We're both riding hard (Cein is a monster on the bicycle) and sleeping harder. Miss all of your lovely faces, and we'll check in soon...

Testing testing

I decided to give it the ole test run, simply because some of you have said there's nothing here...which there wasn't. until now. so rest assured, we are here. we just haven't left yet, so there's not a whole lot happening yet. except some minor local bike rides yielding sunburned thighs. ahh. a taste of whats to come. stay tuned.
