Peace out.
I am going to shower where I don't have to feed quarters into the machine for hot water...
#sfOutOfOffice is now closed.
Why not share your adventure?
I fully realize I am both privileged and blessed with an awesome family and supportive work environment. Not everyone is in this situation.
Do what you can with what you have. You mind, body and friends/family will support you and thank you.
#sfOutOfOffice
I hope you enjoyed following along with me on my destressing #sfOutOfOffice excursion.
This is your reminder that YOU need to take the time to take care of YOU if you want/need to take care of others.
If you remember my first video for #sfOutOfOffice - I hit my wife's car and the bike fell over... This was a much better ENDING then that start...
Last photo on the Oregon coast at Fort Stevens... #sfOutOfOffice
Last stop then HOME! https://instagr.am/p/CQCJ7Rfpia1/
Moment of Zen? Not really. Need to keep moving as we cover 288 miles over 6.5 hrs. Stopping frequently for dry spells and coffee for warmth. Heading to Fort Stevens. #sfOutOfOffice
Had a cute neighbour at our site in the Redwoods... Paul has owned this van for 38 years as his daily driver... #sfOutOfOffice https://instagr.am/p/CP9wT9UJJrr/
Improvised rainfly for rain tonight... Use what you have at hand to get 'ER done. #sfOutOfOffice it's going to be a nasty two days coming up... @triumphnation #TriumphScrambler https://instagr.am/p/CP9qUiPp-p-/
When we stay two nights at a site, we breakout the grill to have a homemade bite to eat... Check out last night's dinner... Thai Coke chicken Thighs and grilled zucchini. #sfOutOfOffice
We got off our bikes and walked amongst the Giants yesterday. Truly awe inspiring. I shot this one using my @GoPro Hero 9 handheld. #MomentOfZen #sfOutOfOffice
Better video from the Gopro on the scale and size of these Magestic trees. #MomentOfZen #sfOutOfOffice
Travelers best friend... Motorcycle tow strap came in handy yesterday...
#KindaMomentOfZen #sfOutOfOffice

Steadfast against the wind, waves and ocean. #sfOutOfOffice #realMomentOfZen
Striving for a little balance... #sfOutOfOffice https://instagr.am/p/CP1xNNDpltG/
Open road, ocean on one side mountains on the other... Let's go! #sfOutOfOffice @triumphnation @officialtriumph @triumphamerica #triumphscrambler #modernClassic https://instagr.am/p/CP1waijpaKI/
Took a ride from the Redwoods back to the coast in a loop they call "wildcat loop". Bumpy as hell but great views! Stopped at a black sand beach for some wave watching. Moment of Zen (sort of).
#sfOutOfOffice
On the way up the coast towards Grizzly park with the Redwoods... Stopped in Mendocino for a view and refuel (most expensive gas ever - don't recomend).
Today's moment of Zen.
#sfOutOfOffice
A not so moment of Zen trying to get a times photo... #sfOutOfOffice #bloopers
WE ARE BACK ON THE COAST. And heading back north... Temperatures down from 37C to 15C so much more manageable.
An ocean moment of Zen for ya..
#sfOutOfOffice
Your moment of Zen from yesterday... These mountain roads in Nappa Valley are awesome for bikes... This is my morning ride to main highway in order to head down to Golden Gate Bridge yesterday...

Moment of Zen (or not) today is a slow mo of some crazy Sulphur Springs action... Damn did it stink! #sfOutOfOffice
Up and close with some Sulphur springs.... Honestly - that smell is not me. #sfOutOfOffice https://instagr.am/p/CPrOfmEptce/
Quick lake stop at Summit lake in a volcano park or something.... #sfOutOfOffice https://instagr.am/p/CPrOT0GJr7a/
Made the pilgrimage to @SierraNevada brewery in Chico for a draft Pale Ale... Taking refuge from 98F heat before crossing over to Clear Lake.
#sfOutOfOffice #SupportBreweriesWhileOnTheRoad
Taking a break en route to next campsite in Weed California... Had to stop at the local brewery @mtshastabrewing for some.much needed ale and food. #sfOutOfOffice https://instagr.am/p/CPoiki5JeZY/
Taking a quick breakfast break and grabbing some wifi. This should be a top of the line breakfast burrito coming from a one stop sign town and no fresh milk/cream for the coffee...
#SendHelp #sfOutOfOffice
