This year’s Shasta Gravel Hugger in Montague, CA is in the bag. The Olympia/McCleary/Edmonds crew this year was Brad, Makaela, Stewart, me, Lolo the pup, (Olympia), Billy, Courtney, Scott (McCleary), and Piper (Edmonds).  The crew! Thanks to Karlye for loaning out her 4 bike rack! The three of us girls in the back.  Lunch in Eugene.  We rented the Gillis House in Yreka, a huge Victorian mansion. Here’s a few photos. Notice in each of these photos there is a bike (or two). The game roon (2 bikes) Dining room (2 bikes). Foyer and bike Front living room…and bike.  Ma ..read more

2/17-Leg Three…Home At Last!

Yep, after 40 hours of travel time, I am home! The flight from Houston was quite fun for the first 45 minutes or so. There was a lot of turbulence coming out of Houston. Then things settled down, and it was just another boring flight. Funny thing though, of all three flights, I slept more on this one than the other two combined! I think the lack of sleep finally caught up with me. I was watching Oppenheimer on my phone, but kept falling asleep. I got the gist of it though.  Coming into Seattle, Rainier was mostly cloud covered, but Lake Washington was clear.  Gathering the bags w ..read more

2/17-Leg Two and I Am Tired!

After the last post, I did find another spot to crash for awhile. I was under a stairway. Almost felt like my tent. I think I slept about 1 1/2 hours. There was another cyclist sleeping not far from me. Another guy got creative and made himself a cubby with a couple of carts. Yet another guy almost seemed like he had moved in. He was there before I got there, and was still there after I left to go check in. I thought that because there was access to outside, what would stop someone from periodically staying in the airport (like in that Tom Hanks movie, only easier because you could come and go ..read more

1/15-16 Leg One of the Journey Home

Leg one is complete. Everything made it to Buenos Aires (of course, I knew that because I saw Billy and the blue bag get loaded on the plane). Billy waiting to board.  And here comes the plane! Had a moment where I was reminded of the movie “Airport” where the plane keeps coming. Thankfully, that didn’t happen.   I managed to be in the last row of the plane. Turns out, I was the only one in the whole row. Nobody else in my row.   Yes, I did lay down across three seats, and yes, it was somewhat comfortable (not as comfy as those seats that become a bed…I’m guessing ..read more

2/13-I Can Still Hear the Drums

Carnaval Del Fin Del Mundo! I took myself for a walk this afternoon to see what was happening on the Carnaval scene. I walked down to the water. I could hear the drums long before I could see them.  I made it to the stage where a couple were saying something I couldn’t make out. I think maybe they were talking about the various drum groups. I moved on down a bit.  This group had some dancers in front of them. I did some video that I’ll post on FB.  I continued down the street looking for a better vantage point.  Waiting to perform? Or done? That’s a good spot up ther ..read more

2/12-Who Woulda Thought…

I would know someone coming into Ushuaia on a cruise ship! Awhile ago I saw on Facebook that some friends were in Buenas Aíres. I commented saying they were at the beginning of Ruta 3 and I was at the other end! Turns out they were doing a cruise to Antártica. I asked if they were coming to Ushuaia. They were, but not until Feb 12th. Well, I am here until the 15th! I’ve been following their trip, and we made a plan to meet for lunch when they got to Ushuaia.  Today’s the day, and we met at Tante Sara after they did a tour into the park. They did the Tren Del Fin del Mundo, and a bus tour ..read more

This morning I said goodbye to my roommate, Miranda, from Holland. She was taking the bus to Punta Arenas, then Puerto Natales to hike in Torres Del Paine. After both Miranda and I had gone to bed last night (but we weren’t asleep, just reading), we got a new roommate. He is “Feliz” from Turkey. Happy guy. He’s been traveling for two years. He doesn’t appear to be hiking, and he’s not cycling. He came on the bus from Rio Gallegos. He’s been all the places we went (in Argentina). Seems like a nice guy.  Today's weather has been spectacular. High 60s. I decided to take advantage and go for ..read more

2/8-Goodbyes and New Digs

The day has come to say goodbye to my dear friends and traveling companions, Alex and Markus. Not gonna lie, I’m very sad. I think it would be easier if I was leaving too (I’d still be sad, but I would be busy). While Alex and Markus enjoy a week of warm weather in Buenas Aires, I will spend another week here in Ushuaia. As I mentioned before, it was far cheaper for me to spend an extra week here than to fly this week, even with paying for the hostel ($200 for the week). Last night we went to a very nice restaurant for our last dinner together. It was called Kaupé. I had the Chicken Bengali ..read more

2/6-A Short Hike and Packing Prepping

It’s another reasonably nice day here in Ushuaia. Markus’ goal for today was to get Max and Violeta packed in their boxes for Thursday’s departure. Alex and I got out of his way by going on a little hike.  This trail is only about 500 meters from our apartment. We’ve been by it many times in the car and on the bus. It was an easy walk to here.  Definitely a well used trail.  A nice walk in the woods.  On review mentioned it can be a little muddy…true.  This was the end (1.7kms later). We popped out to a dirt road. We opted to walk the road back to make it a loop ..read more

2/5-Photos From Wanderings in Ushuaia

Here are some photos taken around Ushuaia. Since it was a nice day (a little windy, but not raining), we decided to walk into town. In the process, I bought a box knife to assist me when I construct a bike box for Billy, and Alex and Markus got tape (I’ll get tape later from someplace closer to my hostel). These first 4 are from yesterday when we met Mathias and Carmilla for the last time (they fly today) for brunch.  This is Tanta Sara’s version of French Toast. It was quite good.  Yellow paint seems to be the most prevalent paint color.  On our way to catch the “B” bus. Had ..read more
