Jour 01: Anchorage - Chickaloon by zonqueur at Garmin Connect. Theamericasbycycle. Rémi Lafrenière. Velo Mag - Cercle de feu du Pacifique. La traversée des Amériques en triathlon. Yannick and Shirley successfully completed the trip of their life!
In April 2010, they chose to leave the comfort of home to travel across the Americas solely on human power. They completed the 26000 km journey from Juneau (Alaska) to Ushuaia (Southern Patagonia) in January 2012 using three primary modes of transportation: kayak, hike and bike. During this adventure which lasted nearly 2 years, they supported a charity called MedShare in its mission to make the world a better place. The staff at MedShare is bridging the gap between surplus and need, collecting tons of unexpired medical supplies from hospitals and manufacturers across the US, hence diverting them from ending up in landfills, and stocking and redistributing them to qualified hospitals in developing countries that desperately need them.

West Coast - Bicycle Touring 101. Stephen Lord is a british cyclist who recently cycled the west coast of the United States.
He is a member of the International Bicycle Touring Mailing List and he is currently writing a book about bicycle touring. He has contributed the following excellent article about touring the west coast of the United States. He makes a rather persuasive case that this is truly an excellent place to go for a future bicycle touring adventure. Introduction The West Coast of the USA is a classic ride.
About half of the West Coast route runs next to the ocean, with fabulous views, sunset watching at many campgrounds, and countless beaches for picnic lunches. The ride from Vancouver is about 5 weeks minimum riding time. Climate & When to go. Oregon - Coast Bike Route. Tour du monde (partie USA) Jean Christophe LAFAILLE - Ouest Américain en vélo.

Des vacances de cyclotourisme à votre rythme Imprégnez-vous de l'esprit de la côte ouest et parcourez à un rythme détendu ce circuit de rêve, de l'Oregon à la Californie.
Pistes cyclables et zones de conservation y cohabitent pendant des kilomètres, et la mer ne cesse de façonner paysages et atmosphères : air salin, oiseaux marins, dunes et plages intactes, falaises grugées par l'eau et le vent. Et la Californie, en plus du charme des villages victoriens, des couchers de soleil divins et des petites baies où reposent les bateaux, vous réserve l'étonnement de pédaler au plus près des séquoias géants, ces colosses millénaires et majestueux. Et que dire du Golden Gate de San Francisco ? PACIFIC COAST. For some reason, when people elsewhere in the country refer to the Pacific Coast, particularly California, it’s apparent that they think it’s a land of kooks and crazies, an overbuilt suburban desert supporting only shopping malls, freeways, and body-obsessed airheads.
All this may be true in small pockets, but the amazing thing about the Pacific Coast—from the dense green forests of western Washington to the gorgeous beaches of Southern California—is that it is still mostly wild, open, and astoundingly beautiful country, where you can drive for miles and miles and have the scenery all to yourself. Starting at the northwest tip of the United States at Olympic National Park, and remaining within sight of the ocean almost all the way south to the Mexican border, this 1,500-mile, mostly two-lane route takes in everything from temperate rainforest to near-desert.
