Hi Gilbert and Michel,

Jac just sent me the url of your blog and waw, what a great read! I also really liked the itinerary in Google Maps, which I followed along with the text. Quite the trip, I’m would like to do this myself one time.

Have fun and see you in Montréal!

When you´re at In´n´out Burger, apparently you should ask for a burger “Animal Syle”. I´ll leave the rest for you. It´s not on the menu. I don´t speak from experience…story from a friend.

Hi Guys – it was really fun spending the last two days with you. We are now in carmel by the sea. Really nice ride from SF to here. Route #1 is really nice. We thought of you when we stopped by a big lighthouse – it also had a nice hostel which I am sure you would have enjoyed.

You guys rock! Was great to meet you. Hope you’re having a wonderful time. Be careful! Hey, if you decide to ride back to Vancouver, stop by again! lol

Definitely. We learned from them that Quinoa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinoa) is very healthy to eat and bring along on the trips (to be cooked like rice), and they were also carrying with them boiled eggs, which was an awesome idea we didn’t have for some reason (I was craving eggs all the time and the cold sandwiches were starting to look less interesting).
Michel showed them how to make jam, it’s nice to exchange that info, always useful (and usually delicious).
Later in Oregon we had head wind, so it means that you may also get tail wind when riding south to north.

You guys are cruising down the coast! I just might use your site as beta when I ride north! I´m glad you met other cyclists on your trip…they´re always keen to share stories, especially about food! Nothing gives you a better appetite.

Michel and Gilbert… you guys rock! You are a total inspiration. I hitchicked that road from Vancouver to California over 30 years ago, and your pictures bring back tons of memories.

Have a safe trips… and hamburgers everywhere, beware of Gilbert…
