Bike Tour 2007 Photo Mania!!!

I finally put up a gallery of some of my favorites from the trip. I had to sift through many many gigs of images. I don't have the time to write captions for everything, so here's a rough description of the images...

-1st set of images are of us on the train...the ride from Union Station in Los Angeles to Union Station in Portland, OR was 32 hours...we spent most of it in the observation car (the one with the big windows) taking pictures of the scenery and ourselves for posterity...

-after the train...we arrive in Portland and camp in the backyard of our hostel (tent city as they call it)...then we spend the next few days exploring town and going to Tour de' Fat, the bike and beer festival put on by New Belgium Brewery...

-the crazy girls in pink are part of a bike/dance troupe called the Sprockettes...

-the series of images with the peace flag was some sort of demonstration that we stumbled on to while in Portland...we were riding around and heard the sound of syncopated drumming and it led us to this group of people riding/swimming across the river...strange....

-the rest of the pics are of the actual ride...I'm not much of a landscape photographer so I shot just a lot of the small minutia of the trip...camping, eating (yum, the food was great), camp chores....we got rained on the first few days and after that it cleared up beautifully...
