Just got into Crescent City last night in torrents of rain. This rain is running me down, slowly but surely. Looks at the weather coming up though and i dont think i have ever been more stoked to see a weather report in my life. The weather for the next few days of my trip...


But! things are going well for the most part. My welcome into California was a broken seat post... i must be pounding to many carbs, or all my gear is suspended from my seat post you can choose what to believe. which is rough i was afraid that i was going to have to fork out a load of cash for a new one but when i went into this TINY bike shop in Crescent City the dude just gave me one he has just recently salvaged... so rad.

I have met some rad people as well. Last night i was suppose to stay with a friends oarents here but things didnt work out for some reason. Anyways i met these guys on the road yesterday. and retired secret service dude, when i asked what he did he gave me the classic answer of if i told you i would have to kill you and i am tired so i am just not going to tell you. and the other a buddy of his from the military. super cool guys. They baught me dinner and let me stay with them in there hotel room which was epic considering the weather. we also met up with this dude who has been hiking the coast he stayed with us too. good people for sure. a little strange but good.

my time at the library is almost up so i am out for now. I am alive and doing well...

First Update

So..... first Bike log.

Bad news. So final preparations for the trip down the coast. We are at Carters house doing a final check on all our gear when from the other room, I hear Dave quite calmly proclaim that he needs to go to the hospital, with no hardcore ugency in his voice i thought it was joke till i walked in and saw this:

minus the paramedic...

the night progessed to this:



THen to this after an hour of sewing up arteries and cleaning it...




So, sadly i will be riding for the most part by myself. Dave goes in for surgery to fix the tendons that were cut(x2) on wednesday. I will leave on friday a little ways down the coast.

Pretty epic first update i'd say.
