The Plan

My Zoology professor was driving me home from the Everglades.
It was about 10 pm. We just had some tex-mex with about five other classmates.
The drive home had started out extremely awkward but somehow opened up into a tell-all between my professor and I.
There's a lot I can't repeat regarding what my professor told me. So, I won't.
 "I'm going to California after the exam in your class".
"What? Like the same day?"
"Yup."
"How are you going to study and-"
"I can handle it."
"Well, if you're going to go to California, you should definitely make a trip to Vancouver Island. The trails there are great. Orcas and bears everywhere."
"What, really?"
"Yeah, I went there once before."
So, here I am. Thanks, professor, for the inspiration.

I'm biking from San Francisco to Vancouver Island, Canada in just a couple of weeks.
I'll have my partner, Hunter, and my pup, Bambi, traveling with me.
There aren't any time limits but we're estimating the entire round trip to take about two months.
We're stopping in quite a few cities of course, including Portland and Seattle.
Did I mention we're attempting to do this vegan? (Not B. of course.)
We'll have a GoPro with us and I'll be updating this blog as much as I possibly can.

Happy cycling,
Nik and Bambi.
