Pacific West Coast Tour 2012

In the final preparation stage now for our next tour. We fly to Vancouver, Canada, on Wednesday next & after a mini-tour to Vancouver Island, we will meet Janet & Ian on their tandem to set off south down the Pacific West Coast route.

J&I will be with us until San Francisco, when they fly back to the UK. We will carry on to Los Angeles & the Mexican border at San Diego, then a short inland return to LA to stay with Harriet before returning to the UK in November.

Have done some last-minute reading on cycling in USA. Included in the list of 'problems & annoyances' are bears (grizzly & black), mountain lions (aka pumas & cougars), poisonous snakes & venomous spiders! So, just marginally more dangerous than riding out with the local Bike Bus then.

Hopefully the next blog will be from across the Pond, sometime after 15th August.
