Some photos from the first week on the road

Scoping out the starting point with all our gear, at Ocean Beach, San Diego. That's the first time we rode with our trailers!

Lunch stop at a diner in Wickenberg, Arizona. Seriously, this is one of the best parts of the trip!

 Matt riding on a bike/foot path just outside of San Diego. If only all of the roads could be this quiet!

Outside the Pine Vally Inn - morning number 2. Feeling sore and tired, and wondering WHAT we were thinking taking this trip! haha, mostly kidding!

Still riding uphill out of SD!

Finally! The top of pass number 1 (many more climbs to come however).

Like the lack of shoulder and the massive semi-trucks barreling past? Plenty more of that to come.

Riding in an absolute sand storm in the Imperial Valley. Definitely one of the most unpleasant sections, but glad to have it behind us!

Woot woot! Made it to Arizona on day 4 - go us!


Mmmm, my thoughts exactly!

 Camping at a great 'snowbird' RV park in Hope, Arizona. Matt is repairing the first flat tire of the trip (BOB trailer tire).

  2. Bring on the food,
    forget about the hills.
    Maybe its your head that needs looked at,
    not your butt.
