So, today I woke up and took my shower – for the note, even though I’m usually taking a shower after my riding day, when I’m all settled, camping or motel, I still need to take a shower in the morning too to get fully awake and throw away my sleepy face 🙂 Then I […]
So, after the quick usual oatmeal breakfast, packing back the sleeping bag, mattress, tent and other camping gear and setting up everything on the bike, I took the direction of the anxiously expected Grand Canyon. It’s so funny you cross what seems to a vast plain of diverse vegetation, finally becoming pine forests, and of a sudden, it’s there, […]
Definitely not an exceptional day. Left Vegas after moving all the stuff from the room to the bike – kind of boring but I’m getting faster installing everything on the bike – and took the direction of the Grand Canyon KOA in Flagstaff, AZ which would be my stop for the day. I tried couchsurfing one more […]
So I left around the same time as usual (packing everything takes soooo much time…) after exchanging business cards with the neighbours, two best friends from Los Angeles I had discussed with a bit the night before, and made a first quick stop at the sand dunes. With all gear on, there was no way […]
Note the roadmap above misses the part between Big Pine (on the left) to the White Peak (via White Mountain Rd) and then to the city of Oasis. I forgot to start the tracker at the beginning of the trip and only remembered in Oasis 🙁 So the first part of the trip was pretty nice, […]
Left Reno around 8:30am, happy to see my bike was still on the parking lot of the hotel. Just before leaving the room, I had taken a few pictures from the foggy/dirty window. The ride started pretty well, with a gorgeous view on Washoe Lake. A little after that I was passing the hell’s gate… And I […]
This is the trip for today: So, after a short trip, I arrived the entrance of the Mt. Lassen Natural Park, and felt happy to see I was starting to make use of my US National Park Annual Pass and didn’t have to pay the $15 entry fee at the kiosk, although there was no guard […]
So, from Eureka, I went to Redding, CA. Leaving Eureka, I went for the 299, which is in many way very similar to the 199, with a lot of twisties, and nice views on the small river flowing by the side. Several road works too. At some point stopped at a Renner gas station, which only […]
Day 3: Monday, Oct. 24 So, after the previous night had been quite windy, and then it started pouring rain in the morning, I decided that traveling with heavy rain would not be the best idea, so I extended my stay in Eureka’s KOA and spent the time transfering stuff between the cams and the […]
OK. Let’s do a quick one. It’s 2:10am in Arcata/CA, but I got waken up by the wind blowing on the tent, wondering if I should put some clothes on and tie the tent down with the 2 extra strings that came with it… Day 1 – Saturday, Oct.22 So, left Vancouver, BC, Canada on […]
