Adventure Cycling Ragin’ Cajun Tour – Part Six
October 11 – 23 From Café de LaSalle we drove a short distance to our next stop for the day, the Swamp Pop Museum, which tour leader Greg had again arranged to be open for us. Ville Platte refers to itself as the Swamp Pop Capital of the World, honoring a late 1950s and early […]
Adventure Cycling Ragin’ Cajun Tour – Part Five
October 11 – 23 We woke up prepared for the longest day of the tour at 57-miles, gear completely dried out and ready to ride on a windy, cold, and foggy day. Setting out from camp we encountered strong winds that would alternately hit us from the front or side, but rarely from the back. […]
Adventure Cycling Ragin’ Cajun Tour – Part Three
October 11 – 23 Today’s ride would be longer at 42 miles, but not grueling given the very flat landscape we’d be pedaling through. In fact, we’d only gain a little over 800 feet during the week, making headwinds the only challenge we might face. After pedaling a short 7 miles we landed in St. […]
Adventure Cycling Ragin’ Cajun Tour – Part Two
October 11 – 23 Up early the next morning, we hopped in the car and began our long days drive. All things considered, it was an easy drive, mostly interstate but through some pretty remote areas of the country. We hit a McDonalds for breakfast given few other choices (for the record, I can’t understand […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – KC and Shelbyville
August 13 – 15 With a long day ahead of us to get to Kansas City that Monday morning we were up and out of the house early. For the next few days we would be dogged by heavy rain making for often less than ideal driving conditions on the I-70, often slowing to 40 […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Vancouver, Part Three
July 26 – 29 As planned, we set out the next morning on the bikes ready to explore as much of this bike friendly city as we could. Heading north on the bike path two blocks away from the house to just shy of Burrard Bridge, then left along the shoreline all the way out […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Vancouver, Part Two
July 26 – 29 Sleeping that first night we discovered a couple of downsides to our Chic Airbnb, one correctible and one not so much. The non-changeable was that in many homes on the west coast don’t have air conditioning (ours in L.A. doesn’t) and we were visiting during a very warm period of the […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – San Juan Island, Part Three
July 17 – 20 Leaving English Camp, we continued south onto West Side Road, stopping briefly at one of a number of Alpaca Farms, the animals having been recently shaved to harvest their wool and keep them cool in the summer heat. Not long after that we arrived at Lime Kiln Point State Park, a […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – San Juan Island, Part Two
July 17 – 20 As planned, we took off the next morning on our bikes to attempt a ride around the island. Turning left out of the resort onto Roche Harbor Road we continued north to the tip of the island, skirting its airport and making a brief stop at Roche Harbor there before turning […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Victoria, Part Three
July 14 – 16 With another glorious morning ahead of us (good weather would follow us the whole trip) we set out on the bikes on a route laid out in a cycling map that our campground host loaned me. We’d end up with 26.5 miles in total and almost circle the peninsula. The first […]
