You guys should check out Bandon Oregon. Whiskey, run trail system, Oak Ridge, Alsea Falls and Black Rock trail systems. Plus, if you want to ride in the desert and beat up your rims on lava rock, you can ride in Central Oregon..

Today I was at a gas station outside of Spokane on my way home from Beacon Hill and I saw a van that looked almost identical to yours. Bikes on back, decked out identical except it was on bigger tires. First thought was, "No way did I just trip across Mo and Hannah at a random gas station?" Turns out it wasn't you, but I came home and saw this vid up which makes it all better.

I'm telling you guys, Tennessee is the place to be! No state tax, you can paddle board. Close to Florida for surfing and mountain biking... Yeah...

@oldkayakdude 14 күн бұрын

NorCal towns up along the coast might be an option. Some surf/riding spots here and there but nothing near the likes of Santa Cruz. Really depends on if your looking for a 50/50 split of time doing either sport. I was big into whitewater kayaking so the Sierra foothills cover all my sports with good year round weather. Gets too cold for me up in Oregon and north in the winter. Most of the riding I know of up in OR and WA is more inland thus not surf ready.

You could still find Condos just under 700K in South OC. It is very expensive , and interest rate is above 7%. Your expectation for lower and affordable housing is a bit of a pipe dream. Good luck and safe travel.

I’m sure you will rule out Washington, yes it has mountains but the beaches are windy, cold and not ideal for surfing. I grew up in the Olympia area, it’s very green and really beautiful. The mountain biking is hit or miss in the fall and winter months, so much rain and mud. What about Georgia, mountains and Florida are both fairly close. South Carolina is also gaining popularity..

Florida isn't known for it's surfing since you know eastern coast of an ocean(western Atlantic coast is where it's at. Also Alaska surf was awesome too.

@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5 13 күн бұрын

@@mellissanash7517 well there aren’t many options as far as beaches and mountain biking…highly doubt they would even consider Alaska. Oregon is ok but most of the coastline is rocky. Only options are, CA, Hawaii… coastal eastern states, but having mountains and oceans with surfing really narrows down their options.
