West Coast, Best Coast?
Is the west coast the best coast? We biked the Pacific Coast Highway from Seattle to San Diego to find out.

Thoughts fill our head at 4:30a.m. about our last day biking, 55 miles. We boogie out of camp at 6 after bagels for breakfast. Of course, you need a coffee and pastry break from the Albertson’s Starbucks before hitting the road again. We bike on a path to our lunch of wraps before our home […]
Today! We started off eating cereal for breakfast on our misty morning before leaving on our journey to Kayaks Point Campground! We then stopped at a café to get coffee and more cinnamon rolls where we sat for a bit! After an enjoyable stop at a thrift store where we picked up some clean T-shirts […]
On day 14 of the trip, we got to sleep in before heading up our mountain for the day. We started by eating banana pancakes with chocolate chips before hiking up Mt. Constitution. We were beat after the climb but had a beautiful view up top of the surrounding islands and bay! Some of us […]
Today we actually woke up and got out on time. After getting coffee at the port, we caught a ferry to Orcas Island and rode for an while up some big hills with two days of food on our backs. After Hurricane Ridge, this felt pretty easy. We went to the lake and had chicken […]
Today we started off on a chilly morning with coffee and muffins. We got a late start out and we just missed our ferry time but ended up getting to see a pod of orcas over Deception Pass bridge which was really cool. We also had lunch on the dock. Our hour long ride included […]
We woke up in the quiet stillness of the cathedral of trees, at a campground south of Port Townsend. Breakfast was a bagel and cream cheese, but with honey as strongly suggested by Will. We headed off into town, riding along a forested path that turned into a marina. A paper mill was spotted along […]
The day started out well with a great breakfast of oatmeal, bananas, blueberries, cereal and coffee, cheffed up by Leila and Will! We took the Olympic Discovery Trail for most of the ride and ended up cruising our way to the Fort Townsend campsite to get there pretty early. Upon arriving we dropped our stuff […]
The anticipation leading up to today was palpable. Jittery nerves, wobbly legs, worries of not stretching enough. Twelve miles, 4300ft. How long will it take? How steep is the incline? We calculated and tabulated the stats of the formidable Hurricane Hill with shaky hands, and woke up early at 6am ready to tackle it. Once […]
The invigorating, exciting, yet strenuous two week bike tour of the beautiful Pacific Northwest ended just as it began; at the Green Tortoise Hostel of the infamous Emerald City. One could argue the final day was most enjoyable as the group enjoyed not one, but two delicious ethnic meals in Seattle. This was to be […]
