Quotes

"What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? It's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye. But we lean toward to the next crazy adventure beneath the skies."

- Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Maps

I have just completed my first bike trip-specific purchase. A friend tipped me off to the Adventure Cycling Association which had the perfect set of maps for my trip. This is a very cool site that had exactly the information I needed. So I bought the maps for a Pacific coast trip, and I'm excited to review them when they arrive. The maps cover the area from Vancouver near my starting point all the way down to Imperial Beach, CA which is on the border of glorious
Mexico. That's right...Mexico mama!
