July 26 La Libertad, El Salvador
Hello dear friends and family.
We have had a long week. Currently we have made it to El Salvador. One week ago we climbed for 7 hours and only covered 35km. Guatemala is mountanous. We climbed through the middle of four volcanos. We encouraged each other along the way, as did the locals. When we arrived [...]
What would we do with out friends and family?Hills, True Love, Dog bites and Fleas
A lot has happened. As I mentioned in the last update Oki and his girlfriend Laura were meeting up for a two week visit in Mexico while I came home to visit as well. They were to ride the bikes from Puerto Vallarta to Guadalajara and Oki and I would meet from there on the [...]
May 27 One Third of The Bike Tour is Behind Us
One Third of the tour is complete. We have pedaled 3,400km. This is by far the greatest athletic accomplishment of my life. However, it isn’t just physical strength that I have increased. During these last 3 months I have learned a lot in several areas of life. For starters I have learned about bike mechanics [...]
May 9th, San Blas, Mexico
After a week long detour back north to Puerto Escondido as we worked and played on the Blue Dolphin sailboat; Erika and I have finally reached mainland Mexico. Our mini sailing adventure taught us much about navigation and also introduced us to a world of neat characters from the ¨Cruising¨community.
Now that we have reached mainland [...]
May 5th Mazatlan, MX
Tonight as I fall asleep the salty air from the Sea of Cortez will creep in through the hatch in the floor of the deck over my bed. Just outide the stars will fill the night sky and the moon will lay her white glistening carpet of light on the water. All around are 125 [...]
April 25 Leaving La Paz on a Sailboat
After these last 2 weeks of rest in La Paz we are hitting the road again…this time we are trading our bike tires for the waves on the Sea of Cortez on a 58 foot sailboat. We will be sailing with our gracious hosts from La Paz; Robert and Kathy. They are two people who [...]
April 15 La Paz, BCS
We’ve reached the end of the Baja California portion of our trip. The deserts, mountain ranges and cool breezes coming of the blue Sea of Cortez tested not just our physical endurance, but also our patience and mental strength. Our success in completing this portion of the journey was made possible not just by the [...]
April 5th Loreto, Baja California Sur
Have you every been somewhere so beautiful you had to pinch yourself to make sure you weren´t dreaming. I have had several of those moments lately.
There is something about turquoise water that makes a scene so unreal. We stayed on a beach about 4 meters from the water at a cost of around about 2 [...]
March 30 San Ignacio, BCS, MX
Until this point I did not understand the meaning of desert or challenge. The last 4 days have been the hardest yet. After Ensenada starts the desert. Currently temperatures are as high as 87F and the humidity is zero. We have travelled across some vast deserts lined with tall pitch fork-like cactus. Our Alaskan skin [...]
