Well, it’s been quite the journey and I can’t believe that it’s already over. Yesterday I rode the final 100 miles into Beaverton, and home.
It was certainly a bittersweet homecoming.
Since Hearst Castle, I continued my ride up the California coast and headed into San Francisco to meet up with some friends.

I got to the coast yesterday via an awesome stretch of CA41 that took me through some windy and beautiful wine country. The weather is already a lot more pleasant. I was even a little chilled for part of the ride.

Going 90 for 6 hours across the Arizona, Nevada and California desert makes for a hot day. Rows of billboards that line both sides of the road become exciting when there is nothing else to look at besides sand.  My previous knowledge of the desert comes solely from Warner Bro’s cartoons so I am cautious [...]

I’d love to share many more photos from the last few days, but my cell phone is way too slow. So here’s one from the Grand Canyon.

From Mesa Verde we had a terrible trek through the desert to get to our next destination: the Grand Canyon.

Along the way I wanted to see Monument Valley. The hope was to gather a pack of inspired bikers to follow us on our journey, only to turn around to them in Monument Valley and tell [...]
