BALLE On! The 2007 West Coast Tour

The BALLE On! Tour is an organized tour of individuals cycling from Vancouver, BC to San Francisco, CA to attend the 2007 BALLE conference in Berkeley on May 31. We are cycling along the Pacific Coast Highway stopping at BALLE networks along the way.

BALLE On! began yesterday on May 13th from Richmond, BC with Derek, Lisa and Laura. It started with a bit of an exploration through farming roads with a quest to meet the car at the border. We thought it might make sense to at least be in the vicinity together so our cycling story seemed legit. And it worked, they thought it was too weird to ask many questions and let us through. And thus begins our long journey to San Francisco/Berkley, CA.

We camped in a gorgeous State Park south of Bellingham (Larabee). Nice park but bloody cold.

The next day Lisa and Laura took off and Derek went back to Bellingham to get food for dinner and to meet with Ritama, one of the two graphic designers for the BALLE On! branding.

Here, Lisa and Derek are sitting at the campsite on Whidbey Island planning the next day's route and schedule.

Please stay tuned as the tour progresses!
