2018 CHALLENGE Cycling the Pacific Coast Highway & the Baja Divide!
On the 4th September I will fly out to Vancouver. On the 10th September 2018 - I will be cycling over 4,000km down the Pacific Coast Highway to San Diego, before crossing the border into Mexico to cycle the Baja Divide to Cabo San Lucas.
I will be sharing all of the planning and preparation as well as daily vlogging the cycling challenge!
I can't wait to share this experience with you!

How it came about Getting outside my comfort zone Why the timing was just perfect Being inspired by Faye Shepherd 10th September…. How do you plan for a trip like this? Breaking it down and writing to do lists Paying for the big ticket items Equipment needs… Spot Tracker…. Buying a tent Support from the tribe with equipment Training and being in recovery from the Appalachian Trail Hip flexors and glutes Being a blue sky thinker Packing… and being more relaxed Throwing in a few more luxuries Not knowing how I’m going to pack stuff… The bike…. needing 2 bikes… Bike sponsorship…. Borrowing a bike and being able to post it back to LA US$90 Ride On - http://www.rideon.com Buying a bike, getting a bike fit & accessories, maintenance for the bike Ignorance is bliss!
