Pedaling and pedaling: Port Hueneme to San Diego

http://pedalpedalpedalpedal.blogspot.com/2011/02/port-hueneme-to-san-diego.html

Port Hueneme to San Diego. Wednesday, Dec. 29, 2010 –– Wednesday, Jan. 05, 2011. Wednesday evening––with yet another rain storm forecast for the overnight/early morning––stayed at the America's Best Value Inn in Port Hueneme (just south of Oxnard). By late morning the rain storm had passed, the sun reappeared, the pavement began drying and I set out for Malibu and the beginning of the massive Los Angeles megalopolis. In Seattle, thanks to the notorious Puget Sound convergence zone. It'll be sunny.".

Pedaling and pedaling: October 2010

http://pedalpedalpedalpedal.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Saturday, Oct. 30th, 2010. Today I went on my second wet-weather preparation ride. It was. Which is what I wanted for the purpose of testing my clothing and gear. The biggest problem is the incursion of rain into the opening in the front of the hood on my jacket. Other than that it all performed pretty well in the nasty weather. Here's a picture of me when I finished. (Notice the fogged glasses.). Thursday, Oct. 28th, 2010. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Please take a moment to visit these sites:. Car-free ...

Pedaling and pedaling: San Francisco to Port Hueneme

http://pedalpedalpedalpedal.blogspot.com/2011/02/san-francisco-to-port-hueneme.html

San Francisco to Port Hueneme. Wednesday, Dec. 15 –– Tuesday, Dec 28, 2010. Alright, I have got to get this blasted blog updated! I have an overwhelming pile of photos and videos to upload so I'm going to try to summarize a bunch and get caught up. Then I'll just have to not fall behind again! So after my stay with Angelo in Vallejo, I moved to Heidi and Martin's place in San Francisco where I spent a couple of days tooling about, being a tourist. The ferry goes right past Alcatraz:. I visited a bit of G...

Pedaling and pedaling: November 2010

http://pedalpedalpedalpedal.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, Nov. 25, 2010. Under beautiful, partly sunny skies, left Florence and headed for Coos Bay, 50 miles away. Here I am taking a break next to a little bucolic lake:. Here's a scarred dune just north of North Bend:. And the bridge into North Bend:. Nathan has been "stealth" camping all along his trip (rain or no) and I figured I could pick up a few tips from him, so we set off to find a state park in which we could stealth camp. Here's a market in Charleston:. And the bay next to which we camped:.

Pedaling and pedaling: January 2011

http://pedalpedalpedalpedal.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

For those of you inquiring or wondering, I'm alive and well in SoCal. Here's a photo of me on Jan. 3rd at the Mexican border:. I'm sorry I haven't been updating the blog. Between often not having internet access and/or being with people and not wanting to excuse myself to hunker down over my computer for hours, I've let the blog slide. I still hope to have it up-to-date within the next week or two. Yesterday I left San Diego heading east. I hope to be in Phoenix by mid-January. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Pedaling and pedaling: October 2009

http://pedalpedalpedalpedal.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Change of (no) plan. Sunday, Oct. 11, 2009. My concern now is making enough money through the winter to enable saving $5000 by late June (my current intended departure date). Things at Tours NW are looking to be much slower this fall than they were last year. I'm going to have to find additional income soon. No idea where. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Pedaling and pedaling: December 2010

http://pedalpedalpedalpedal.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Napa Valley.by car. Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2010. No bicycle riding today! Being at the back (cellar) door of Napa Valley, Angelo offered to take me down into the valley to see the renowned area, visit a few wineries and do some tasting. Okay, twist my arm. Being in the Napa Valley and, I suppose, needing to differentiate themselves from the fold, some wineries turn to exuberant architecture and art in an effort to attract the crowds. (What does this say about the quality of their wine? The City by the Bay!

Pedaling and pedaling: Done.

http://pedalpedalpedalpedal.blogspot.com/2011/03/done.html

Saturday, March 26th, 2011. For those of you who thought my mangled carcass was slowly decomposing in a swampy roadside bog in Louisiana, I've got news for you: 5,500 miles, 4.75 months, 5 flat tires, 10 states and 31 host homes later I'm very alive and exceedingly well in KEY WEST, FLORIDA! To be honest, I am probably more amazed than anyone that I actually followed through with it.and survived! At the outset I'd speculated that my chance of arriving in Key West was maybe. What an adventure it's been!

Give a Bike 50 State Tour: April 2011

http://giveabike.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

In 2011, Adam and Christy Coppola devoted a year of their lives to help give bikes to those in need. They biked all 50 States, self-supported with a focus on charity, adventure, and physical challenge, all visible through photography, videography, and journalistic blogging. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Probably for the first time since he received his wounds, it was his body that was moving him forward, turning, stopping, and giving him freedom. As Adam, his brother, Damon and I looked on, we wished th...
