Day 101, August 27th 2008, beginning just north of Cayucos, California
Monday, September 29th, 2008

The decision to sleep outside of the tent didn’t go completely unpunished, as our stuff did get a little wet from the overnight cooling. Nothing major though. However, I think due to the wetness, the camera was not working, and wouldn’t for the rest of the day. Too bad.
Lauren had [...]

Day 100, August 26th 2008, beginning in Big Sur, California
Monday, September 29th, 2008

We woke in our serene setting amongst the trees in Big Sur. We went down to the campground’s general store and picked up some cereal. We ate quickly and got ready to go. As we got on the bikes and began pedaling, I noticed we were at an interesting milestone in terms [...]

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

We woke at 8:00 not bothered. Good, we made it through the night. This would be our first time using the book we got from Mike and Sean of bicycling the Pacific Coast. We both got ready to leave and used the bathrooms that were property of the marina.
The sun [...]

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Marge had a “field trip” with some of her kids to a San Francisco Giants game that the bus was leaving for around 8:30. She was up and out early, so I said goodbye, but we weren’t up to take a goodbye picture. She again left us her key to lock up with [...]

Day 97, August 23rd 2008, beginning in Fresno, California
Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Marge had a luncheon with coworkers in Reedley that she was leaving for around 9:00 (for some reason). I got up and made us some more chocolate chip pancakes, finishing off the batter. I said bye to Marge and forgot the goodbye photo again! Oops. Our ride wasn’t coming until about [...]

Day 96, August 22nd 2008, beginning and ending in Fresno, California
Friday, September 19th, 2008

I woke up at 6:00 to go shopping for some breakfast items. I was going to make chocolate chip pancakes, a personal favorite of both Marge’s and mine. I picked up all the stuff I needed and headed back to the house. Marge usually leaves around 8:00, so I wanted to have [...]

Day 95, August 21st 2008, beginning and ending in Fresno, California
Friday, September 19th, 2008

Marge got up and went to work, while we slept in. When we got up, we ate some of her food, and headed to downtown Fresno with the soccer ball. There wasn’t much going on there during the day, so we headed up to the Fresno State area, where I spent most of [...]

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Paul and I went to grab some breakfast foods from Trader Joe’s when we got up. We grabbed some cereal and pastries. When we got back, Mike had come back over with his friend Leif. Leif had biked the coast as well down from Oregon. Paul and I quickly ate out [...]

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

It was Monday, so Ryan headed off to work. We said goodbye to him, but forgot to take the going away picture. Sorry folks. You can see the back of his head in some of the other pictures I took as a consolation. Paul went back to sleep in Ryan’s bed, [...]

Day 92, August 18th 2008, beginning and ending in San Francisco, California
Thursday, September 18th, 2008

I woke up and even though I was fairly hungry, I forced myself to have a small bowl of cereal for breakfast. I showered, and put on one of Ryan’s nicest shirts, since none of mine were clean, and so as not to look foolish at Google. Paul got up after a while, [...]
