Planning the next trip!

It's official, we are planning our next trip! We will take the train up to Vancouver, BC in early July 2010 and ride up, then down to Eugene, OR. Using "Bicycling The Pacific Coast" as our guide, this trip will include many ferry trips and a couple of 70+ mile riding days. We plan to stay about a day and a half in Vancouver and find a hot dog cart with a Japa Dog (with seaweed and wasabi mustard) to eat. We'll camp until we get to Victoria, BC, take a rest day and stay one night in a hotel. Then more camping until we get to Astoria,OR where we plan to stay two nights, rest and maybe go up the Columbia River. We will ride just over 900 miles in 18 days (not counting travel and rest days) averaging 50 miles a day. We have made many of the reservations, but still have a lot of planning and research to do.

I'll blog periodically on our planning. We are looking into a new iPhone App that will allow us to track our trip and instantly plot our progress for all to view. The first test today did not work. We have not decided if we are going to twitter. I twitter Lance, Levi and George and enjoy following them. Do you really want to know what we had for lunch? We also need to figure out how to blog from an iPhone or Blackberry, for we do not plan to take a laptop this time. Ev should be done with her Masters. Yea!

We are signed up to ride the Solvang Century in mid March. We have not ridden as much as we had planned, and 100 miles seems a little daunting, but we will see. It's already paid for so we have to try.
