HELLO!

Welcome back. Seven years after my first ride across the United States, I am doing it again.

This blog will document my trek.

Pre Ride Ride - 3/5/26 (27 miles)

National Park sign, of course.

Woke up to 49 degrees. After eggs benedict from an airstream food truck near the hotel, took a 19 mile tune up ride to the Old Point Loma Lighthouse and Cabrillo National Monument with 6 other C2C riders.

Later in the day, took an 8 mile ride on the San Diego River bikeway.

Today’s group - Dan (WI), me, Steve (ID), Paul (NC), Laura (IA), Lisa (FL), and Bob (NC?) at the whale lookout point.
