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: Avenue of the Giants! [Day 22] Day 22 I am not sure why, but last night was one of the best night’s sleep I have had on the trip. I feel so refreshed! And to make it even better, today was a short day, covering rough 23 miles or so.

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: Climbing into the Redwoods! [Day 18 & 19] Day 18 I woke up around 3 am to a horrific, blood-curdling scream. The person was outside the church screaming in pain and yelling for the suffering to end. What I woke up to was someone overdosing, and paramedics quickly arrived on the scene to get him to help.

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.

At this point, I have been on the road long […] Cycle Luke Guilford | May 23, 2023 1 Comment
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
