The Trip Overview.

Hi everyone, and welcome to the Whimsical West Coast Cruise touring trip blog. I (Rudy) will be maintaining and adding to the blog over the course of our bike trip for all to enjoy.

So what is this trip? Rudy, Will, Ian, and Mike (all recent graduates from UVA) will embark on an epic 6 week 3000mi bike touring trip from Los Angeles north to Vancouver along the Pacific Ocean, then east through the states of Washington, Idaho, and Montana, passing over the "Going to the sun road" in Glacier National Park, before heading north into British Columbia and visiting Banff and Jasper National Parks, and finally finishing in Calgary.

We will be carrying all of our gear and updating the blog as often as we encounter civilized people with computers. Expect postings of mileage, updates on our progress, insights into our endeavor, and pictures and video footage of of deliriously excited/exhausted guys on bikes.
