Year: 2012

We’re still alive! We’ve survived wind and mountains as we rode down the gorgeous Big sur coast. It was even more awesome than we expected. We’ve continued our gourmet tour of the coast – fresh pasta in monterrey, fancy breakfast at deetjen’s, and last night we feasted on expired Mac and cheese!

We’re having a great time! Last night we were hosted once again by the Martins, manjula’s dad and stepmom, in Santa Cruz. They treated us to a feast of homemade chili rellenos and tomales! Now we’re scooting towards Monterrey via watsonville and the elkhorn slough. Sasha and I are starting a new religion based on pie worship. If you accept pie into your life, you will find heaven on earth!

We are  awesome! We successfully navigated bay to breakers, with only one near fatality. we had beautiful weather down the coast. We survived the solar apocalypse. We’re now at pigeon point lighthouse, having ended the day with a delicious max-made curry, pie, and a hot tub!

Well, another year, another bike trip, another late night packing… I waited way too long to set up the bike blog. But I wouldn’t be a geek if I hadn’t spent an hour and a half making it so updates from my phone would use the GPS to tag the post with my location and update the map 🙂 Also, due to my fancy new phone, BikeBums.com may soon be featuring video posts! I promise I’ll upload a video of me riding along the rim of the Grand Canyon to make y’all jealous!

I was supposed to meet up with Sarah Norr and company at Manjula’s in the city, but I spent too much time poking around. So, I’ll catch the first Bart tomorrow…wish us luck as we try to navigate through Bay to Breakers!
