bicycle tours
pacific coast
iron horse trail
- I rode this in 2021 with Fernando
- the iron horse was originally a railroad
- this trail is cool becaause after you get to snoqualmie its all downhill to the columbia river!
- also there is a 2 mile! tunnel under snoqualmie pass
- this railroad originaly went here to chicago & became a highway
- now the bridge over the columbia river is open and the trail continues!
- I hope to do the entire rail to trail which I think goes to chicago like the original train
stp seattle to portland
- the spl organized ride didn't happen during covid
- so I did it solo which was nice because they rush it I went slow
- my uncle & family live in Portland so I got to hang w/ them afterwards
ragbrai
- every year in iowa people create bicycle tour routes across iowa
- ragbrai = registers (newspaper) great bike ride across iowa
- I think around 8000 people do this each year
- they have a truck transport your camping gear
- roads get closed & campgrounds are setup
- I was able to ride this in 2010
- I did this self supported & i rode out & back from iowa city
