San Fran to LA

UNITED STATES OUTLYING ISLANDS | Friday, 8 Jul 2011 | Views [644]

City cycling. It's only fun if you're not actually trying to get anywhere. It doesn't help that everything is in Spanish. I shouldn't be surprised, California was part of Mexico once. Until [as my friend Nick says] 'The ... Read more >


The Sun that shone

UNITED STATES OUTLYING ISLANDS | Saturday, 18 Jun 2011 | Views [371]

The Olympic Peninsular

UNITED STATES OUTLYING ISLANDS | Saturday, 14 May 2011 | Views [517] | Comments [4]

Dry? Sun? Warm? All these things have been a vague and far off memory for the last four days. I've woken up shivering three days out of four and put wet socks into squelching shoes and saturated shoe protectors. I've slipped on cold soggy ... Read more >

Cycling the Sea to Sky....or the Sky to Sea

CANADA | Monday, 9 May 2011 | Views [1031] | Comments [3]
