Gooch, 31, a Mauriceville
native, took a few days to
gather his gear and off he went

from Missoula, Mo., he covered
the 1500 miles in 17 days,
averaging 100 miles a day and

economy.
About half of the trip was
through mountainous terrain
and half was down the scenic
Oregon-California coast via
Hwy. 1. Gooch said he

he said, "Four to five thousand

exceeding 100 degrees for
more than a week. One day
the high was 108 degrees."
Gooch said he lost 20 pounds
on the trip. He rode through
