Yesterday I started my next journey: a cross country bicycle journey with my dad.  My mom dropped us off at the beach in Newport, Oregon and we rode home.  Because I have been hiking the past several weeks, I am not used to riding a bike.  Luckily, I am re-learning quickly.  The ride was a little over 62 miles, almost twice my best hiking day.  I was amazed at how efficient bicycling is compared to walking.

The route will take us all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.  We plan on crossing the Cascades via McKenzie Pass and the Rockies near Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  We hope to cross the continental divide before snow makes the route impassable for bikes.
