Cycling the West Coast: Sitting Out the Morning Rain! [Day 26] Day 26 This morning was mostly spent sitting in my tent, waiting for the rain to pass. Only 41 miles separated us and our campsite at Salt Point State Park, so we weren’t in much of a hurry. Late morning, the rain began to clear, so we set off toward Point Arena.

Cycling the West Coast: Last Day on Highway 101! [Day 23] Day 23 We started the morning with a nice 12 miles through the last stretch of the Avenue of the Giants. I enjoyed the shade before the afternoon sun unleashed its wrath while climbing Highway 101. The first town we arrived in was Garberville, where we decided to stop for breakfast.

Cycling the West Coast: Fish Tacos and Scenic Drives! [Day 20] Day 20 I woke up feeling very refreshed, it’s the best I have felt in the last few days. After a breakfast of fruit and granola, we stopped by the elk to see them once more before we left. I sure love the calm, dark mornings in the redwoods, I’m not sure why, but it’s just easy on my soul. Related: […] Cycle Luke Guilford | May 25, 2023 0 Comments
Cycling the West Coast: California! [Day 17] Day 17 I woke up feeling not much better than the day before, but I had just under 30 miles to get into town to meet my father. Luckily, the road was very flat, and I could cruise into California. The weather called for non-stop rain, which, honestly, I enjoyed. At this point, I have been on the road long […] Cycle Luke Guilford | May 23, 2023 1 Comment
Cycling the West Coast: Roadside Service! [Day 16] Day 16 Today was brutal: I progressively got more ill throughout the day. My body felt drained, and I had a gnarly headache, but I had to keep moving today since I am supposed to meet my father in Crescent City, CA, tomorrow.

Cycling the West Coast: Backroads and Burritos! [Day 15] Day 15 Camping with Flurin means starting the day jamming out to “On The Road Again” by Willie Nelson. I stayed around to check out the tide pools in the morning, and so did a school field trip. It was a nice reminder that I’m glad I’m not teaching kids or trying to herd them around.

Cycling the West Coast: The Little Big Sur! [Day 11-13] Day 11 & 12 The Memorial Day weekend was well spent with family. Despite the rain dumping buckets the entire weekend, we were able to hit the beach, fly kites, explore tide pools, and check out some sea lions. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t itching to get back on the road. I feel like, I’ve had my fair […] Cycle Luke Guilford | May 12, 2023 1 Comment
Cycling the West Coast: The Wet Coast Strikes Back! [Day 10] Day 10 I have been fairly good at timing the weather so far, but this storm was impossible to avoid… well kinda. I turned down my friend’s offer to give me a ride to Newport, OR and I paid for it. It was a downpour as soon as I left Lincoln City, with only a couple of short breaks of dry […] Cycle Luke Guilford | May 10, 2023 0 Comments
