Maybe on a bike and a quicker pace (than walking) they're not as swarming. But as for wildlife and solitude it's a treasure in our own backyard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8800215841231477688.post-89481145017683370992009-06-14T21:01:26.421-04:002009-06-14T21:01:26.421-04:00Yes, I've been checking Jill's blog.

They are pretty bad when I get home and then there are the bugs that get in the vents of my helmet. Or even better yet, cleaning goose poop off my bike! LOL - they are disgusting! <br /><br />Santa Barbara bound sounds great.

Of course, I favor finding cheap hotel rooms to camping out on the side of the trail, but that's just me...<br /><br />We can rent a bike when you come out here or borrow Louise's old bike, or use my old bike as I'll have my new one by then. There are lots of options....Mel-https://www.blogger.com/profile/04427168586829685383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8800215841231477688.post-51636899010383746032009-06-14T10:06:37.193-04:002009-06-14T10:06:37.193-04:00The whole ride is 400 Miles - I want to be like Ji...The whole ride is 400 Miles - I want to be like Jill Homer and just be able to put life on hold and spend the summer riding it. How fun! How would you get your bike here? I am trying to figure out how to ride when I come out in the spring.
