Paso Canoas is Ugly

Pavones to Paso Canoas - 60 Km I left Pavones around noon, huffing and puffing on the steep, winding dirt road over the coastal range to Conte. The air was very hot and I felt a bit delusional. My surroundings took on a surreal quality, and topping a particularly demanding hill in the...

Questing for Jon

Shortly after noon the next day I was gliding over the blue-green waters of Golfo Dulce, down the coast to Zancudo. A hazy Osa Peninsula rose across the gulf, tinted gloomy grey by the downpour of a solitary, towering thunderhead. I patched a leak in my rear tire on the desolate beach of...

Golfito - Limpio y Bonito

Palmar Norte to Golfito - 81 Km I had known from glimpses at my map that the pacific highway 34 intersects the Pan-American at Palmar Norte. I had anticipated a mighty thing, pulsing with banana-laden semis, flatbeds transporting chunks of space shuttle, huge tankers distributing imported...

Pura Vida - Don´t Have a Cow

Dominical to Palmar Norte - 56 Km The doctor said the two stitches which I might need would cost $75. I Inquired into her ant supply. In the end she showed me how to cut medical tape in the shape of an hour glass to hold the wound shut. She also taped my thumb to my index finger. I...

Re-tire Young - Both Wheels

Once I make my millions, my fat ass is retiring in Dominical. This is ChillVille 9000 - a small town with huge surf. The frenzy is absent, yet somehow the nightlife is roaring. Just as I'd rolled into town a few days ago, I ran into a few Argentinian dudes who recognized me from Santa...

Of Dust, Flats, and Hemroids

Manuel Antonio to Dominical - 47 Km As far as portals to national parks go, Manuel Antonio is an exceptionally authentic and tranquil place. The tourism aspect is executed tactfully enough that one does not sense the pimped-out ¨NatureLand - brought to you by Pepsi¨ vibe common to Yosemite...

The Long Ride

Jaco to Quepos - 75 Km I was glad to leave Jaco. The place lacks any visibly redeeming qualities. An imminent hostility permeates the darkened night streets, and besides, there is something deviant and perverted about the blatant Americanization of the place. Jaco personified is an obese...

From Badland to Mainland

Santa Teresa to Montezuma - about 15 Km Montezuma to Jaco - one hour by boat Santa Teresa is a hard place to leave. One succumbs to quixotic visions of endless surf, early retirement at Zeneidas campground, and the ultimate french fry. The allure is Blue Crush meets Mad Max goes to...

Toys in Babeland

Playa Coyote to Santa Teresa - 30 Km or so The ride out of Playa Coyote was flat, scenic, mellow, and pleasantly uneventful. I crossed a few knee-high rivers and waved at the Ticos who sat on their porches in the middle of nowhere. They waved back and some smiled and hollered "hola!" as I...
