West Coast Tour 2016 – Albuquerque, Part One
Timeline: October 16-18 The first half of our drive to Albuquerque was off the interstate as we made way on the diagonal from Scottsdale up to the I-40 in Holbrook, which lies about 30 miles east of Winslow, where Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne are still standing on a corner looking at a girl, my […]
West Coast Tour 2016 – Solana Beach, Part Three
Timeline: October 8-14 As planned for that Thursday, we set out on the bikes to ride down to San Diego. I’ve ridden these roads and this route a number of times so could rely on memory for most of it and found it served me well. No sooner had we started riding then there was […]

West Coast Tour 2016 – Kamp Angst/Rogue River – Part Two
Timeline: September 19-24 We arose the next morning ready for another big breakfast and weren’t disappointed. This is not fancy food, but it is good quality and there is plenty of it, something like eating at home if your Mom was a good cook. We made our own sandwiches this time, packed up our […]

Timeline: September 19-24 We drove down out of Bend around the north side of Crater Lake and made way for the REI in Medford to pick up the Osprey pack I had ordered. We arrived in good time, completed the transaction and then drove a short distance to a nearby In-N-Out, our first stop of […]
West Coast Tour 2016 – Moab – Part Two
Timeline: September 7-11 With four nights and three full days in Moab, we decided to dedicate Friday to bike riding, relaxing and shopping. We’d inquired about road bike routes around town (there are hundreds of miles of dirt biking trails close by) and with information in hand took off from camp heading north out […]
West Coast Tour 2016 – Moab
Timeline: September 7-11 The drive from Parker to Moab would be fairly simple, with portions along the I-70 we’d traveled many times. This is a scenic route, crossing over the Rockies at Loveland Pass, the highway carving through steep canyons as sun capped mountain peaks twinkle in the distance. Crossing into Utah you leave the […]

Timeline: September 3-6 With a moderate drive ahead of us to Denver we had camp partially broken the night before, enabling us to get out of Spearfish right around 9:00 am. We went west a short distance into Wyoming, then turned south for the rest of the journey. A couple of hours into the drive […]
