Cycling the West Coast: Lost Coast or Bust! [Day 21] Day 21 We tried to get out of Eureka early before traffic got too crazy. As soon as we got out of town, we stopped at a McDonald’s for a breakfast sandwich before pedaling toward Ferndale. Related: Cycling the West Coast: Fish Tacos and Scenic Drives!

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.

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.

Cycling the West Coast: First Flat Tire! [Day 14] Day 14 I had an early start this morning to try and get into the Coos Bay area at a decent time. The first 15 miles went quickly, so I took a little break and read an informative sign on Jedidiah Smith and his explorations. As I read the sign, I heard a loud, sharp “pop!” I looked over, and […] Cycle Luke Guilford | May 15, 2023 1 Comment
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: On the Road Again! [Day 9] Day 9 I left Cape Lookout State Park early this morning to try and beat the rain that was supposed to hit in the afternoon. My day started with a gnarly climb that went up roughly 850+ feet, and it seemed to be my steepest climb of the trip so far. Related: Cycling the West Coast: Tillamooook!
