Durango to KC 2016 Final Day of the West Coast Trip
In 2016, this particular ride was day 16 of our West Coast trip. Today (yesterday since my computer died on the way home) we are driving the same route as we wrap up our 2017 Colorado vacation with friends. It seems like the perfect day to finish up the blog from last year & add…
Sacramento to Ely, NV
The route from Sacramento, CA to Ely is a very diverse one. It was a gorgeous day to ride. The road up to the lake was curvy with amazing scenery! It was cool as we crossed through the mountains, but once we were on the other side, it definitely heated up! Our first noteworthy site was…
Guerneville to San Francisco
Today we woke up to another sunny, beautiful day for riding! We had breakfast at the local diner before heading to the city. At breakfast when I was researching where to go to board the boat for Alcatraz, I realized that reservations have to be made in advance. I am so bummed! That never crossed…
Coos Bay, OR to Arcata, Ca
Today was another day of ‘easy’ riding. And still no rain! Yeah!!! The ride today was really good. We stopped at Trees of Mystery and walked the trail through the giant redwood trees. We also took the gondola to the top. I loved it!!! We rode through Avenue of the Giants. What an amazing ride! …
Crater Lake

Astoria to Roseburg
Astoria was a great little town by the water. We spent the morning at the Maritime Museum, which was really cool! We had fish & chips at a very cool food “truck” that was actually a boat called Bowpicker. The halibut was delish!! From Astoria we headed South down Hwy 101 until Gardiner where we…
Idaho to Washington
Idaho We woke up to a warm sunny day in Priest Lake, Idaho. We had a yummy breakfast of sausage, eggs from Colleen’s chickens, plus hash browns. Ashly & Taylor left early to head home, so the 5 of us went out to a great beach area at the lake to take in the local scenery. …
2016 West Coast Itinerary
Our bike adventure started in 2003 when we bought our first bike, a 2003 Buell Lightning. For the first three years we explored “local” roads & landmarks in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Wisconsin. In 2006 I brought home Shawn’s Uly as a birthday surprise! With the comfortable upgrade, and the ability to carry more luggage, our trips got…
