The Clark Fork River Revisited

Year 4

As Molly and I work our way across America by car to our bike touring starting point, we make certain to include enough time for a daily bicycle ride. Today is was 96F in the mountains of Montana (ugh), but that did not stop us from taking a 20+ mile ride along the Clark Fork River.

It was great to see an old friend. During our Glaciers to the Sea Tour three years ago we biked along the Clark Fork for four days. The scenery and peoples in this region are Wunderbar!

The river is beautiful, but one does have to do some climbing. Two pics of Molly enjoying some vistas …

 

The Birds of Guanacaste – Costa Rica (pdf book)

Year 4

Working my way across the USA to start a bicycle tour, but just published a small book about the Birds of Costa Rica for a very small region on the Pacific Coast. This books is a gift to my younger brother, William. This is NOT a rain forest book. Rather it is a Costa Rica drylands coastal bird book. The Birds of Las Catalinas is provided free for download, BUT is copyrighted. In other words, the book is free for your private use. Should you wish to let others know about the book, do NOT host the pdf on your web site, but link back to my Birds of Costa Rica web page.

Hosting the pdf on your own web site would be breaking the laws of the United States.

Westward Ho!

Year 4

Come one … come all … follow the intrepid pair of Molly and Rich during their self-supported bicycle tour through the mountains of British Columbia down to the Pacific Ocean … and then out over the waters of the Pacific to the Islands of Haida Gwaii. We leave early tomorrow morning to reach the starting point for our Yellowhead Tour. This will be my tenth long distance bike tour! See my other tours.

Molly will write about our travels on her blog:

Rich will post both on this web site (my own), and Crazy Guy on a Bike Portal:
