Blue Heaven is very “Key West.” If you dump all of Key West in one place, it would be Blue Heaven. Chickens (rather Roosters), bright colors, and cats appear to characterize the restaurant along with good food and drinks. It is a big courtyard with stages for music and art, a bar, and lots of tables under trees.

Nine One Five (Duval St.) Key West, Florida
We arrived in Key West the third day! Yahoo, there are some good restaurants for us to enjoy. We were hungry because we didn’t stop for lunch, but we wanted to have a nice dinner. We decided to try Nine One Five on Duval Street.

Day 7 – From Little Torch Key to Hawks Cay
Today is the last day of cycling on our Key West Tour. We’re a little sad that it will soon be over, but we are looking forward to a great day of riding . Are we are definitely looking forward to reaching The Hawks Cay Resort and getting in some quality relaxing time.
Day 6 – Heading Back to Little Torch Key
After yesterday’s adventure in the kayaks, I’m ready to get back on the trikes. Although we would love to stay here and play for a few more days, our time in Key West is done. It’s time to start riding back toward home.
Day 5 – Kayaking in the Mangroves
Ahhhh. Another day in paradise. The sun rises into a clear bright blue sky as we peek out the window from the Authors Guesthouse. We’ve got another play day planned. No trike riding today. Today we will go kayaking in the mangrove jungles that surround Key West.
Ride to Nathan Benderson Park and Breakfast
It was a humid (for a change) morning in Lakewood Ranch when Mike and I decided to ride to Benderson Rowing Park. It is a 20 mile loop round trip with the pool waiting for us at the end of the trip.

If you are in Manhattan Beach, California and want fun breakfast, try Uncle Bill’s.
We stopped at Uncle Bill’s for breakfast on the first day of our trip to our new home in Florida. Our 5 week trip took us from Irvine, through our beloved Santa Barbara Wine Country to taste and ride our trikes, before heading south and east. Uncle Bill’s is a block away from the beach and that is why we stopped there.

Day 16: Sacramento / The American River Trail
Sunday April 22, 2012
31 miles (50 km) – Total so far: 390 miles (628 km)
Today is TARTAR – the Tour of the American River for Trikes and Recumbents. This ride is organized by our friend Wayne Leggett. Wayne owns and operates the 3-2-Go trike shop in Ventura. We first met Wayne a couple of years ago when we rode with him, his wife and a group of recumbent riders from the Ventura area on a weekend getaway to Ojai. We really enjoyed that first ride with Wayne and his crew, so when we learned he organized this ride in Sacramento, we just had to join in!

Day 13: Big Sur to Carmel
Thursday April 19, 2012
27 miles (43 km) – Total so far: 341 miles (549 km)
The day began early in Big Sur. The large crowd in the Hiker/Biker site are all up, and chatting, cooking breakfast and preparing for their day’s ride. I pack up early as well, but elect to take advantage of the camp lodge restaurant for breakfast. I sit in warm comfort, drinking hot tea and wolfing down blueberry pancakes and bacon. Out the window, I watch as, one by one, my fellow bike campers roll out the park exit and turn to the north or the south to continue their journeys. My breakfast finally complete, I pull out a few minutes before 9:00 AM, ready to begin the 13th day of my adventure.
Ahhhhh. The 13th day – I should have recognized this for the omen it was of the day to come…
Day 9: Cambria
Sunday April 15, 2012
We woke early in Paso Robles, eager and ready to do a nice 30 mile ride around the area. Our plan was to ride 4-5 miles into downtown, eat a nice breakfast, then climb some hills, visit some wineries, and return to the hotel.
We dressed in many layers – it was quite cold – lower 40’s early in the AM. We packed up all our luggage and checked out from the lovely hotel. We loaded up the bikes and off we go……
