So I left off the night before the Chivas played the New York Red Bulls, Chivas won mind you! It was a really fun night spent with Claire, Matt and friends. It was Matt's first ever soccer game! I spent a decent amount of time explaining to him the rules of soccer and the one … Continue reading Guadalajara: Part II

Mar a las montañas
When one travels for a living, she can often find herself in situations and places that she would have never imagined no matter how much she planned. That pretty sums up the last month of my life. Looking back at the month of March, it went by incredibly fast and was filled with so much … Continue reading Mar a las montañas
Hasta luego Baja
Leaving the US turned out to be the easy part, finding my way through Tijuana without a map or cell service was a bit more tricky. I had received some beta from a cyclist a few weeks before who had ridden through Baja California before and he told me once you cross over just turn … Continue reading Hasta luego Baja
US Pacific Coast: A Retrospective
MY ride south along the Pacific Coast of the US saw it's fair share of changes. I went from the lush temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest down to the dry and arid southern California climate. Leaving Olympia, I said goodbye to friends and family and got to experience my first birthday on the road … Continue reading US Pacific Coast: A Retrospective
She rode a broken saddle
The ride out of Yosemite was a fun one, the first 40km were downhill and lovely! When I stopped at the bottom of the big climb of the day to use the loo I noticed my Brooks Cambium saddle was broken, hmmmm this sucks. It cracked across the nose of it but thankfully I was … Continue reading She rode a broken saddle

I spent my last night in San Fran in my new friend Óscar's house before beginning my trek to Yosemite Valley. I … Continue reading Granite Goddesses
NorCal
Pretty quickly after entering into California I came upon my first Redwoods and holy shit are they huge! I obviously new they were massive trees but just being among them is a whole different thing. When I made it to the Redwoods State and National Parks I was greeted with a decently long 6% grade … Continue reading NorCal
Here Comes the Sun
And I say it’s alright. So after slogging through the usual Pacific Northwest weather for the past few weeks I was given wonderful news from some fellow Pan-American tourers from France, that in two days time we would have sun for the foreseeable future! That was music to my ears, I really haven’t been able … Continue reading Here Comes the Sun
Rain and Vomit
Well I'm back on the road!!! I biked to the coast from Olympia and rode the 101 south into Oregon. My plan was to head to Portland for a concert and hang with a friend of mine who lives there. But my body had a different idea and the day after my birthday I woke … Continue reading Rain and Vomit
Mid-Tour Wedding Hiatus
So some of you might be wondering since I am biking the Pan-American Highway, why did I go to Minnesota? Well the answer is that one of my good friends was getting married and no way was I going to miss that! It also gave me the opportunity to see friends and family again before … Continue reading Mid-Tour Wedding Hiatus
