Today was, sadly, our last day exploring together. We set out from our hostel towards Venice Beach, where we walked along the boardwalk and next to the skate park. We had pizza on the beach and swam in the ocean before feasting on some ice cream. We made our way back to Santa Monica where […]
Today we woke up, packed up our campsite, ate breakfast, and hit the road, excited for our upcoming arrival to LA. We biked along the coast and watched the surfers and dolphins as we passed by. We arrived in Malibu and enjoyed a relaxing lunch, where we attempted to crush apples and juggle lemons. We […]
Today we woke up and cleaned up camp, excited for a long, flat 40+ mile ride along the coast! We followed bike paths next to the ocean and eventually reached the town of Ventura. We stopped by the visitors center and a few thrift shops before continuing South. We had lunch and did grocery shopping […]
Today we woke up next to the beach and enjoyed some dinosaur egg oatmeal as we packed up our campsite. We made a quick stop near U.C. Santa Barbara to visit a bike shop, eat some delicious burritos, and bike on the campus’ extensive bike system. We explored the Santa Barbara Wharf and ate ice […]
Today we woke up in Lompoc and headed to Albertsons for breakfast. We dined on cereal and milk, with lots of fixings, and headed on the road South. We biked through more farmland and had lunch in a friendly Californians driveway. We climbed trees and took a small siesta as we energized up for the […]
We started off our day with a delicious breakfast in an Albertsons (a grocery store chain). After a brief group photoshoot in the windows, we rode off south towards Lompoc, CA. We climbed a small mountain and then took a break to eat snacks and change a few flat tires. We coasted down the other […]
Today we woke up to a sunny day in a homely hostel, and made some delicious sourdough pancakes. We met John, a friendly fellow-hosteler, and learned about his time in the Navy and Marines. We packed up and headed to a nearby bike shop. We got lunch at Trader Joe’s and learned how to juggle […]
Today we woke up in our campsite and ate some hearty oatmeal. We biked south through a town called Harmony, with a population of 18 people (we saw 2 horses, which probably aren’t in the population count). Then we went to Morro Bay, where we stopped by a bike shop and ate lunch at a […]
Today we woke up next to the ocean, and feasted on chocolate-orange pancakes. We then set out to climb a couple mountains. It was tough biking through the light mountain fog but there were gorgeous views of the cliffs to our left and ocean to our right. We took a well-deserved ice cream break at […]
Today, we woke up to the (incredibly) loud chirping of the local Big Sur bird population. We packed up and headed out to begin our day with a long bike climb to the top of a mountain (955 feet!). We got lunch sandwiches at a local deli and continued South along the coast. We rolled […]
