Hey guess what? We moved today. Not exactly in a direction that gets
us towards our goal but we moved and I updated the map. So you might
be wondering , did they run out of steam? Are they lacking motivation?
Did they get discovered as they were biking thru Hollywood and we will
soon see them on the big screen? The answer is NO! What we have been
doing was surprising our better halves for valentines day. After we
biked into LA on Friday we locked our bikes up at Jon's apt and rented
a car, drove the 7 ish hours back to Santa cruz (took us 8 days to
bike it) and surprised the ladies. It was a perfect rainy weekend to
hang out with two of the best ladies on the planet and great for our
bodies to be free from the bikes. We made the drive back to LA today,
dropped off the rental, hoped on our bikes and rode to the house jon
and Tara are house sitting. Tomorrow we are off to riverside to visit
Jen and Deanna, friends I met in Vermont. With a little luck the rain
will have stopped and city biking will not suck as bad as we think it
will. Sorry about the pause in excitment, we now continue with the show.

ReplyDeleteGo Joe!
ReplyDeleteawww...what a great surprise! I love following along on your adventure, and seeing all the pictures! Happy traveling Joe and Brian!
ReplyDeleteI just hopped on the blog for the first time -- belated well wishes. You're both such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi 2 Guys... I drove along side you for a block today on Main Street, downtown Los Angeles and could tell you were on a big adventure. You both looked chill and healthy and not too cold, considering it's been rainy and chilly this past few days.
ReplyDeleteI moved downtown 4 years ago from Hollywood, and have since ditched my car in favor of my trusty rusty Schwinn. It gets me everywhere I need to go. Locally that is.
I'd like to recommend a book written by Steven Roberts, called Computing Across America, The Bicycle Odyssey of a High-Tech Nomad, written in the late 80's about a cross country treck on his homemade high-tech recumbent bike. It featured several on-board computers... one of which was programmed to call the local police if on-lookers got uncomfortably close. Years later he went on to build an amphibian pedal/solar/sail micro-trimaran. Right?!
If you'd like to know more, check out his site: http://microship.com/bike/
Much success and best wishes.

Did you have this planned all along? I half think that perhaps you did (the other half says you used the weather to good effect).
ReplyDeleteBut the real reason I comment, is I need to be reminded of my opportunities to sponsor. Is there a calendar so I know what days are still available?
And, where's the link for your possible route? I might know some people along the way you can stay with. Certainly I know someone in Santa Fe who's likely to be amenable. BTW, the food in New Mexico is fantastic so be sure to have lots of it and I need a packet of green chili powder.
