Cycling Pacific Coast Highway & Baja California!

On the 10th September 2018 - I started cycling from Vancouver, Canada down the Pacific Coast Highway to San Diego, before crossing the border into Mexico to cycle to Cabo San Lucas - a journey of over 4,000km!

I vlogged the journey so you can see what life was like on the road!
