We loved so funny company of Peruvian kids. We spent many evenings with them when camping somewhere in small towns. That time we camped on a football pitch. They were interested in everything we did. When Paul was starting fire to cook some rice (they thought we were primitive…

There is so much to do in Vancouver! If you like doing sports it's the best place to live. It is heaven for those who like outdoor activities. Beaches, water, mountains, islands, it's just beautiful! We meet there many fantastic people who showed us the best places there. In…

We followed some roads of Trans America Trail in Oregon and it was awesome.There is even a church of holy cyclists ;) Enormous trees, mountains, rivers, lakes and waterfalls. Everything within one state. As far as I remember the first cute, wild wild west, city was Prairie City…

Mother Nature, what the hell have they done to you? They've made a parking lot out of the park. As cyclists we experienced hell rather than pleasure riding in Yellowstone. Car after car, RV after RV, and it was just second half of May. But what should I expect? If there is a…

We spent a few days in Seattle. The most iconic attraction and icon of the city is the futuristic 184 meter high tower Space Needle. We rested on the lawn under the tower, which was the backdrop for the colorful amphitheater, where in 1991 Pearl Jam played their first album. The…

Z miejscowości Jackson ruszyliśmy w stronę parku Yellowstone na północ. Po drodze mieliśmy okazję zwiedzić Park Narodowy Grand Teton w którym króluje pasmo Teton i jego najwyższa góra Grand Teton (4,199 m), którą miejscowi tłumaczą jako wielki cycek :) Widok na pasmo ośnieżonych…

Every time I think of Zion I say Ohhhh. It wasn't just beautiful, the ride through it was so exciting and thrilling that I ate a lot of bugs with my dropped mouth ;) We got there on Mount Carmel Hwy but we had to hitch a ride through the tunnel. After that there was a long "feel…

After leaving the South Rim of Grand Canyon we rode down to totally different world. Green pine forest was gone and it was getting more and more colorful and warm. Spring woke up all the beauty in this part of Arizona. We were amazed by spectacular plants that grow there. Warm…

Surreal or sculptured abyss... My vocabulary is too poor to describe Grand Canyon. This video and photos will show some of its greatness and beauty. We visited it on Easter in April 2017. We took road 64 from Williams and camped in national forest before we got the park. The next…

Route 66 was one of our favorite rides in California. We started in Barstow and finished in Needles. Sometimes we had to ride on her enemy road 40 because some parts of 66 were in terrible shape but before we got to Amboy we experienced the brand new road. In Amboy we stopped for…

"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul." - John Muir. I agree with that man. In March We spent two days in Yosemite and we gained faith and power again to carry on our trip. In two days we…

The most beautiful city in United States so far. We were inspired by its architecture and hilly roads :) Sometimes it was so steep that I had to pedal verrry hard and it took my breath away. We didn't look look for tourists attractions, just rode along the bay admiring Golden…

We were a few days before San Francisco, almost ready to reach it. We had to choose between riding across the ocean or pass the mountains to San Jose and visit Silicon Valley, one of the most famous places of modern electronics, places of main offices of Apple, Google, Intel etc…

Being in LA I couldn't miss some places that have belonged to The Doors and Jim Morrison. The concert in Hollywood Bowl was my first experience with this band, so we went there to see the scene. I thought it was much bigger. We could go around it with our bikes :) We visited the…

Bikers! You have to be careful and watch out for Edward Scissorhands. In LA we arrived about 9 am. We were very excited about biking in this famous town. Once we set up our bikes we hit the road. We went to Hollywood hills to see the panoramic view of town. It was awesome!!! Then…
