Abstract

This writeup describes a trip along the Pacific Crest Bicycle Trail (PCBT) from Hamburg, CA to Tahoe City, CA. We followed the route given in The Pacific Crest Bicycle Trail by Bil Paul, one of the riders. The total trip distance was about 407 miles. We rode from July 23 through July 30, 1995.

The writeup got a bit bigger (32K) than I expected (guess I had lots of fun), so I've separated the narrative from this "road map". There are also 2 pictures, totally a bit over 54K. If you've got a slow link, you might want to disable automatic loading of images in your browser.

Enjoy!
