AMERICA BY BICYCLE
RIDE THE WEST

Every ride has its own beauty, but the west coast is beyond belief. This ride explores the rugged Oregon and California coastlines and then ventures inland in southern California to ride through rich agricultural regions and wine country. The photos below are some of the beautiful scenery we encountered on our trek down the coast. This ride is not a ride for the inexperienced. There are strenuous climbs and technical descents to challenge the skills of any cyclist, but the scenery will reward the senses for the effort required to conquer the terrain.

Riding the coastline into Florence Oregon was breathtaking.	The lighthouse at Heceta Head was an awesome view.	The visuals on the ride to Crescent City were indescribable.
The rugged Oregon coastline.	It's hard to ride with so much beauty all around. And you can only find this on the Oregon coast.	When we weren't ogling over the shoreline, we were riding among 5000 year old trees.
After the trees, we found the beautiful rolling hills of the wine country.	On our day off, the views of the GGB were awesome!	We escaped the tourist trap of Cannery Row and then looked forward to Monterey.
The Santa Cruz shoreline was just about as rugged as the Oregon coast.	Probably one of the most photographed trees in America...the Lonely Cypress on 17 Mile Drive..	The final miles into Solvang were along beautiful vineyards and all downhill.
