The Pedalshift Project 284: The Missing Link - Part 5

The Pedalshift Project 284: The Missing Link – Part 5

This part covers the last challenge of the trip – cycling to LAX! Starting from the El Segundo, winding my way to my airport hotel, plus the next morning’s complete ride to Terminal 1. Can we call LAX a truly bikeable airport?

The Missing Link – Part 5

Go check out FOTS and Pedalshift Society member Greg Braithwaite’s videos of HIS CA tour over at Bike Vids on YouTube… I’m going to give this more of a shout out next week, but my insanely busy week shouldn’t prevent you from checking them out. Hoping to get Greg on the show soon!
 
Quick programming note… next week we hit a best of that tracks back to 2017, and then we’ve got a wrap-up takeaways episode for the Missing Link. Then we’re going to travel completely across the country and test out some cross-borough riding in New York City before returning to the studio for some topical shows as we gear up for summer…

You’ve been hearing about Jason Kent and his music for many fine episodes. Jason has a new track available NOW, and a new album dropping very soon AND Jason’s first solo album is now streaming on Spotify, including America, the Pedalshift theme. Go listen! 

The Pedalshift Project 283: The Missing Link – Part 4

This part covers some zero day observations and riding a newly repaired Brompton from downtown Los Angeles to Venice and Redondo Beach, circling back to my airport hotel. A bit of a tour reset, but great adventures in bicycle touring LA County!

The Missing Link – Part 3

The Missing Link – Part 2

This part covers part of day 2… because it got a little crazy and needs to be split into two! A couple of things:

  • The cross winds created some periods of time when the audio is less soundscape and more “annoying.” I tried to edit out the worst of the worst without cutting out some of the stories I was telling and the sights I was describing.
  • The amount of times I jinxed this ride in this episode is simply staggering. I taunted the bicycle gods aplenty, and I preview what they did to me towards the end of this episode. All  can say is, clearly I deserved it.

Statistics

Partial list because we’ll cover all of day 2’s stats next episode… but partial list:

Number of Marine Base cycling permits accrued 1
Bagel shop reviews 1
Number of times I foolishly taunted the bicycle tour gods with proclamations of my plans 44
Flats… <sigh> see you next week…

The Pedalshift Project 280: The Missing Link - Part 1

The Pedalshift Project 280: The Missing Link – Part 1

In 2014, I cycled the entire Pacific Coast from Canada to Mexico. Sort of. Because of the difficulty getting through a section in southern California, I always had a teeny tiny section unbicycled… a missing link, if you will. In 2022, it’s time to bike that missing link. Part 1 chronicles my flight to San Diego and the first day of riding to Carlsbad.

The Pedalshift Project 279: Tampa to Disney World Takeaways + Spring Tour Preview

The Pedalshift Project 279: Tampa to Disney World Takeaways + Spring Tour Preview

Wrapping up my thoughts on the winter bike tour of central Florida and unveiling my first spring tour of 2022, which will finally check a box that’s been needing to be checked for nearly eight years. The Brompton flies (and rides) again, and the camping gear stays in the bin for one more tour…

Tampa to Disney World Takeaways

  • I love beginning and ending tours at airports and train stations. That’s a teaser.
  • Folks, just don’t lose your ID.
  • Make a paper copy of your ID and/or passport and stick it in a bag in case you lose them.
  • Do not underestimate sun exposure on tour
  • Training, turns out, helps
  • Google maps is not always up to date. (And, turns out Apple Maps is sometimes ahead of reality)
  • Picking a possibly hard to bike to location is more fun than I expected (but I always knew I had other options)
  • Winter tours are great
  • Credit card touring can get pricey if you’re used to free camping
  • The route I took is still possible, but the road closure is for real. Two options will be possible, and that’s featured in a video I put up on the YouTube channel… go check it out!
  • Would not be surprised if I do this again next year, but if I can add some days I want to explore the trails north of Tampa… would probably add a day?

Spring Tour Preview – The Missing Link

  • First considered in Pedalshift 273 (see all those route scouting episodes mattered!)
  • Completing a section of the California coast that I had to fast forward in 2014, with extra miles to pay back interest😉
  • San Diego to LA, mostly along the Pacific Coast Route, but turning inland to tag Anaheim (where I hopped the train in 2014).
  • Brompton
  • Considered mixed camping/roofed lodging, but went with all roofed lodging… will make up for all these with some serious bike camping this year!
  • Riding airport to airport!
  • Hoping to revisit the fish taco challenge – will your coastal California town win?
  • Riding light and layered. Cool mornings, not so hot days, little chance of rain (but riding prepared).
  • Twin challenges
    • NoBo – wind will be in my face for the whole trip
    • Marine Base Pendleton – the south gate is where you get access… shouldn’t be an issue, but bureaucracy is bureaucracy!
  • Tour journals begin NEXT week!

The Pedalshift Project 278: Tampa to Disney World – Day 3 – Stealth Camping at Disney World?

It’s a bicycle tour of central Florida, with a Disney twist at the end! On the much quieter final day of riding, I explored around one of the Disney resorts and found some pretty interesting opportunities for stealth camping. Ride along and hear how abundant the possibilities are, and why it’s — and I cannot stress this enough — a *terrible* idea!

Tampa to Disney World – Day 3 – Stealth Camping at Disney World?

I say it a lot in this pod but let me underscore this is a terrible idea. I go into detail WHY during the ride.
But that said, it’s possible if you’re into terrible ideas and are ok with the consequences. Me? Not so much.

Coming Soon on The Pedalshift Project

Video on how the ride in worked is coming within a week or two
Next week… the final entry of the Best of featuring the 2019 ride to Cincinnati from DC.
The week after that… takeaways from the Disney tour PLUS tips on what to do when you lose your ID and have to fly… oh I have tips… AND a PREVIEW of my next tour which will come to you the following week!

Music

You’ve been hearing about Jason Kent and his music for many fine episodes. Jason has a new track available NOW, and a new album dropping very soon AND Jason’s first solo album is now streaming on Spotify, including America, the Pedalshift theme. Go listen! 

The Pedalshift Project 277: Tampa to Disney World – Day 2 – Can You Really Bike to a Disney Resort?

It’s a bicycle tour of central Florida, with a Disney twist at the end! Day 2 ends with crossing onto Disney property and the final roads that lead to my resort. Will heavy traffic, sketchy shoulders, or Disney security cast an end to the enchantment?

Tampa to Disney World – Day 2 – Can You Really Bike to a Disney Resort?

Folks, this episode includes almost all of the audio I recorded for the final few miles… it’s a real soundscape, including the noises from the bike, the traffic and the wind. It’s a whole heck of a lot like it was in the moment and I thought it was worth sharing even though real audio engineers would shed a tear for some of what I’m subjecting you to. But if you want to hear how the most critical few miles of the trip went down, it’s worth the listen!

Hey, I’m doing a video of this! Details coming soon, but if you aren’t subscribed to Pedalshift on YouTube, do that and you’ll be the first to see how this all worked, what the roads looked like, the crazy road block, and what my thoughts are on bicycling to Disney World…
