Thanks guys. I was lucky to be able to do this trip and i really am glad I could do it. BTW the wheels are the Shimano/Velocity combo that r...@rivnendell builds. My chainring/cog teeth are somewhat hooked but they still have life left in them.
As far as photos, I just managed to upload a couple on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/43029...@n07/sets/72157624854639259/ One is of some antelope in Wyoming, and the other is from Jasper park in Alberta. It's kind of daunting how many photos I have, some of them pretty random and I'll need to sort through them all when I get home. PS, Mike you are from Portland, right? I have to say, I was awestruck by that town's bicycle infrastructure. Bike lanes in the middle of the road- not near the car door zone, but in the middle of the road. And it seemed like there was designated bicycle parking every other city block downtown. Signs along the bike routes telling you exactly how far you are from the next point of interest! People out walking, children playing in the fountains... And the amount of people riding bicycles- not 'cyclists', but people riding bicycles. I could not believe that a town such as that could exist in the US anyway. Powell's books was bustling. Also beguiling was the number of bookstores present in even the smallest of towns in Oregon. People really like to read there, huh? It's unamerican. seriously. I also met a couple of really cool guys named Aaron and Phil from Portland who happened to be riding down to Lincoln City for the weekend when I left, and we rode down there together. I could not have asked for better company on the way to the coast, and they were very gracious in waiting for me on the hills.
