Just came across these old photos of Nova from a October 2002 trip to the west coast. I believe this was in Santa Cruz. We toured the city on it's bike routes. I remember eating the best salmon sandwich at this place out on this pier. Later in the trip on our way home we stopped off in Vegas for a night and Nova's bike was stolen from the back of the truck.
On this trip we also rode in Moab, Utah, the Bizz Johnson rail-to-trail in California and around South Lake Tahoe.

On our way home from California today we stopped by the Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway to make a couple of runs.
The World's fastest Elgin...

The day after the Tour De Fat in Portland we drove up to Astoria, Oregon where we rode the Astoria Riverwalk which just by coincidence is the Rails-To-Trails conservancy's August trail of the month. The Astoria Riverwalk runs along side the Columbia river for about 5 miles.

We drove for three days to get to Portland, Oregon to attend a bicycle event on Saturday where they preach about driving less. Aside from the guilt of the large carbon foot print we made to get there and them not serving our preferred beer, it was an awesome time! The TDF is a ballyhoo of bicycles and beer put on by the New Belgium brewery raising money for local bicycle organizations in the cities they are held. Not anti-car but pro-bike. This was our third Tour De Fat in just as many states.
I was surprised that there was not more people at the event with Portland being the bicycle city it is. I believe the TDF's we attended in Ft Collins and Tempe both had a larger turnout. The 6 mile parade ride through downtown Portland was great with the Portland Police blocking traffic the entire route.

We had originally planned on taking our mountain bikes to Wyoming to ride a rail-to-trail but the weather didn't look good so we did a 180 with our direction and bikes and went to Galveston, Texas. Spent a couple of days cruising the sea wall along the gulf. We also checked out a great bike shop there called Island Bicycle.
