On July 22nd we left to ride 900 miles of the Pacific Coast highway. I started this journey at 6 weeks pregnant. I knew that I might not feel well but I wanted to do it anyway and I would just take it easy. That is just what we did. It was so amazing!! We met so many wonderful people and saw so many incredible things. We started in Portland, Oregon and finished in San Fransisco!! We rode an average of 55 miles a day we had one rest day and stayed in 2 hotels. I had to go to the bathroom about 6 to 10 times a night that I needed a break from popping a squat outside the tent. I also wanted a shower. We saw whales, sea lions and the Red Woods forest. We also rode through the rain forest. We stayed in 15 different campsites were we met other bikers also riding the coast! I made sure to eat a lot and that was mainly PB&J. every morning we rode a bit to a new town to sit at a coffee shop and have breakfast and watch the locals. I didn't feel as exhausted as I thought I would and I didn't feel that sick. It was hard because I thought that with the large trailers I could slow Nick down. OH NOO, that didn't happen!! Although he did get about three flat tires a every other day which gave baby and I a much needed break. It was a trip that we enjoyed and did as a new family and hopefully the baby will see it with his own eyes!
