After taking a few thousand pictures of my little guy, he is starting to get frustrated. "Dad, stop taking pictures of me." Taking pictures of my little guy is something I enjoy doing. You might even say that I am creating a visual representation of his life.
In the summer of 2012, I decided to go on an adventure. I oacked up my gear and cycled from Nanaimo to Port Hardy. I travelled, with all my gear, 400kms over five days. It was an amazing trip. In 2013, I'm wanting to travel for a longer period of time and cover a greater distance. Where will I end? Who knows!!!
Lucas, Susan and I at the Portland zoo in the summer of 2012. At 2, Lucas was still a little shy of the animals. The drive down the Oregon coast was amazing. Makes me want to pack up my gear and cycle the coast.
Roasting marshmellows on the campfire just north of Port McNiell. I'm trying to teach Lucas the skills to a perfectly roasted marshmellow. Cluxewe Resort provided a great resting spot after the five days of cycling it took to get there. It was even better that Susan and Lucas were able to meet up with me so we could spend the weekend on the beach.
We actually believed that the Vancouver Canucks would win the Stanley Cup. Well, maybe they will, another year.
Michael,
I enjoyed hearing about your adventures, I share the urge to cycle the Oregon Coast as my niece did it last year and her experience was amazing as were her photos! I loved the pic and story of the art of roasting the perfect marshmallow(I have relived that with each of my kids! It is a significant life skill!) Best of luck on your next cycling adventure!

I too am envious of your biking adventures, I have always wanted to do the portions of the trans Canada trail on bike. Also I hear the north/south America trail is supposed to be spectacular especially through Montana… another task on my bucket list

Enjoyed your Simply Me page. I also love Oregon...Portland is one of my favorite cities and I absolutely love the coast. It has always been a dream of mine to cycle the coast (back before kids)...I'll have to wait until my kids are older.
Happy cycling:)
