Below are links to the blog posts from my July 2009 bicycle tour of the Oregon and California coasts from Seaside, OR to Crescent City, CA. This five-day, 375-mile trip was my first long ride. In these posts, I share about my experience of this beautiful stretch of coastline, as well as my reflections as a Christ-follower along the way.
- Preview day - I flew from Orange county to Portland to meet my brother and make our way to the starting line in Seaside, OR.
- Part one – a few paragraphs at the start of the day.
- Part two – a number of great memories looking back at day one.
- Part three – a few pictures and memories from the second day of the ride.
- Part four – memories from day three, including a side trip to a Christmas tree farm I often visited as a kid.
- Part five – “nothing is impossible” sustained me through the close of the trip.
