Well it is off on the long-road yet again for Buff3y the Hardcore Adventure Cyclist. I’ll be winging my way to Colorado on Sunday to resume the ride southwards through the Rockies.

Part Thirteen: Beer and Loafing in Las Vegas
Vegas and five days to eat, drink, gamble and be merry (and not ride a bicycle)! Yep, there are pokies/slots at the airport lounge. Yes, you can go and shoot a machine gun. Yes, there are no clocks in casinos. There is, of course, an incongruity at the core of Vegas in that there is…

Part Twelve: San Diego
Have taken a few days in San Diego to absorb the enormity of the achievement to date, eat lashings of $3 pizza slices and explore the plethora of Irish pubs in the downtown area.

Part Eleven – LA to San Diego
The comments, cards and letters just keep on flooding in to buff3ysbicycling blog and this blog now runs the serious risk of eclipsing the bulk of those purported ‘adventure’ cycling blogs out there in cyberland.

No further comments on my poetry will be entertained. 23rd October (40 miles) (Corvallis – Eugene) 24th October (Eugene) The good…

Part Seven – Oregon
“Hey hey Woody Guthrie….. The very last thing that I’d like to do,. is to sa’ayy I’ve been hittin’ some hard travelin’ too” (Dylan) Hard travelin’ indeed, I thought you “knowed”. Woody and Bob never pedaled it! I’ve been taking some time to get lost on some quiet back-roads headin’ south parallel to the Interstate…

The Dalton Highway, Alaska (Deadhorse to Fairbanks)
Part One: The Dalton Highway (Deadhorse to Fairbanks) The Dalton highway gets a day-by-day description given that it is the first challenge of the trip (and I am full of the zeal of a new blogger) and secondly because it was an event of a highway. Deadhorse on the Arctic Sea coast is where this…
