I've taken a 6 month career break to help me decide what I want to do when I grow up! This BLOG will record my adventures and chart my progress as I cycle the western pacific coast of the US for Room to Read. Find out what I've been up to and how I'm getting on...

"You can call me Dragon"












There is a small town called Elk on the coast in California. I stopped for lunch there in a great cafe )also had accommodation). One of my best lunches of the trip - simple pasta, chicken, broccoli in white wine sauce. Perfect.  Out the back of this cafe there was a lovely view (and a dragon!) - Elk used to be a much bigger town (called Greenbank I think) and big in logging. There used to be a train track right out onto the rocks for shipping the logs down the coast. There's not much of the track left - just a few joists.

Where does "You can call me dragon" come from? A movie with Will Ferrell called stepbrothers. Not as good as Anchorman (obviously) but worth a look.

  1. Do you fancy an open water triathlon in St.Andrews next year? 10th June. Open for entries. The bike leg should be easy for you.
