What a Pacific Coast Bike Trip Looks Like

So for those of you who are curious what a leisurely bike ride down the Pacific Coast looks like, here it is.

Map of Bike Tour

Yes, this is a map of a Pacific Coast bike trip.

It represents over 2,200 miles of bike riding; over 200 hours of sitting on a leather, Brooks seat.  Over a week in the rain.  Over 49 days of traveling.  Over 40 days of putting on cold, damp clothes.  Over 45 days of thinking obsessively about eating a pack of Rolos.  Over 1 eat-shit fall on the PCH.  Over 42 days of sleeping outside, under stars or on beaches or both.  Over 5 times of being confused as a homeless person (although technically I don’t have a home right now).  Over 10 cans of sardines or anchovies.  Over 0 haircuts and 0 times shaving.  Over 1 big breakdown and 1 flat tire.  Over 1 summer.

And yes you can even click on image and you’ll be able to zoom in / zoom out, check out where I stayed, see sites I passed through and stuff.  Knock yourself out.  And scene.
