West Coast Wayfaring: Seeking cyclists
Interested in exploring the left coast? I plan on doing just that for approximately a month beginning in late May (2005). The plan is to fly into Vancouver (without a return ticket), explore Vancouver Island and the immediate environs, then strike out in search of the new sights, experiences and people. I don't anticipate camping; hostels and cheap motels are my preference; but will reconsider should a compelling argument be presented. Also, the itinerary and degree of difficulty of the trip -- in short, everything -- is up for discussion; but the emphasis is definitely on flexibility and enjoyment! If such a proposition sparks your interest, or you're a gracious soul with advice on notable destinations, routes, etc..., please post or email. Luke |

Luke I was planning something like this too, unfortunately I will be working to support it in May and probably won't get on a bike until July. My trip will be pretty freeform, part cycling, part hiking, and part canoeing/kayaking. I am hoping to do some serious climbing (and descending) on a bike, and canoe through the queen charlotte islands. Will you be posting your experiences anywhere so that I can learn from your mistakes? |

I'll definitely inform you - whether here, or a web post, etc... - of the trip's particulars. luke |
