    Fun Times in OB

    December 4, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    We had such a great time hanging out with Mary Ann and Scott in Ocean Beach. We met them when we first reached the Oregon coast at Cape Meares - they were also biking the Oregon coast - and they kindly offered to host us when we passed through San Diego. It was super fun chatting with them about riding in Oregon, including favourite places, and more importantly, favourite food and ice cream stops. Their little house in Ocean Beach overlooks the Pacific, with great sunset viewing and a nice little basement room that we used to relax, repair gear and bikes and prepare for the journey ahead in Mexico. Mary Ann and Scott were busy working on a reno at their rental property during our stay, but kindly took the time to show us around town, take us to REI for some last gear purchases, and help us with our research trying to find a place to land on our first day in Mexico. One night they invited some of their friends over for dinner and we sat on the deck chatting about bike tours and adventures over delicious food. After 5 nights at their place it really felt like home, and we can't say enough about how fun and accomodating these guys were. We hope they will come visit us in the Yukon one day - although they might have to bring some warm clothes, because San Diego in 'winter' is basically as warm as the Yukon in summer!Read more
