My homie Brad is riding his Santa Cruz Blur LT to Whistler as you're reading this. Today is his 19th birthday.
Check out this video of his harmonica setup!!!! http://www.the-locs.com/2011/06/riding-to-whistler.html
108 miles
The journey to Canada kicked off on June 19th when Brad left his home in Soquel at 5 in the morning. In the next 15 hours he rode his 9spd bike all the way up HW-1 and over the Golden Gate to a town called Bolinas. Not only did Brad make it the full distance but he did it without any sleep the previous night and still covered over 108 miles! This picture was taken at Bolinas.
B-RAD is BARGING
Brad left his house at 5am on June 19th.
10 days since hes ridden his bike all the way to Port Orford.
That's averaging over 55 miles a day - This is what 563 miles looks like.
"I can't believe I made it to Oregon face" - Legend
Somewhere along the Oregon Coastline - Rain tarps on the trailer
Hammock Steeze in a rad zone - Guitar of course.
One of those days............
Spray painted somewhere up the Oregon Coastline - 'NUFF SAID

That bike looks nuts though with the skinny tires.
what a monster.
Another nutter rode his bike across Canada to Whistler. 2500 miles or so. He did it on an Intense DH bike and then got a job with the mountain when he arrived.
From Woodburn he has 420 miles of epic coastline to cruz up to Whistown. His Dad is going to meet up with him in Portland and Brad will be able to recover for a few days in a hotel. Leaving Portland Brads Dad is going to take his trailer up to Seattle in his car where they'll meet up again while Brad will ride his bike (w/o trailer). Seattle to Whistler is the last leg of the journey and it's just around the corner!
ETA to Whistler: JULY 10TH
I thank you all for the birthday wishes. They made me feel real good. I have made my way up to Portland Oregon where I have met up with my Dad. It is real nice to finally be with someone I know. A few days of relaxation is much needed at this point and even more importantly a damn BEER! I will soon be in Seattle where I will grunt out the last leg of my journey. My destination is Whistler and my arrival there is drawing soo close I can taste it. Although there has no doubt been some rough moments overall the trip has been truly awesome. I have no regrets what so ever. This country is filled with wonderful people (no doubt a couple shady ones too). I thank you all for the support you have shown in me, it is truly what keeps me going during the rough times. I also apologize for not updating you of my safety this is my first time with access to a computer. But, please know that I am well and very much ALIVE! Cant wait to see you all....
Till next time,
Bradley Pierce"
Glad the trip has gone safely.
