    I spy with my little eye a can of Polar in the badlands pic. You may be corny, girl, but you were seltzer-fed.

    Someone tell that sweet top-hat clad troll in the first pic that a demon troll from the artist’s drawing stole his key

    Alright, your descriptions of Day 8 and 9 really brought it home about what an amazing trip this is! Glad that your leg strength has caught up to your ambition and a 74 mile day is not a struggle. Saw the USCG boat in the distance past the eagle!

    Love the comments. We just finished our ride today, Lise is golfing (on her birthday!) We are I n a town called Bandon, OR. Kirsten and I are strolling in town and about to reward ourselves with a cold one at the beach🍻

    Loving the daily narratives, and the photos are AMAZING – especially when I consider that you are sending only a few pictures a day and so know that there are yet other beautiful scenes.

    Keep pedaling – and journalling.

      Hey Brad:
      I’m glad to hear that you are reading, Missed last night, exhausted. But keep an eye out soon for a summary of that amazing day. We took a day off today and visited the Redwood National Park with Lise. We will ride the Avenue of the Giants…Can’t wait. You can’t beat seeing these sights on a bicycle. Looking forward to August and September Rides with the crew!

    RE: The Pictures – When I read articles in Bicycling about trips like this, I look at the pictures and think, “Wow, they had these three or four oustandingly beautiful days,” but you post those sorts of pictures every day – I am stunned and humbled by the non-stop beauty. Keep ’em coming.

    Hi there! I realize this is sort of off-topic but I needed to ask.
    Does running a well-established website such as yours require a lot of work?
    I am brand new to operating a blog but I do
    write in my diary everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and views online.
    Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners.
    Appreciate it!
