Well, it's been a busy five days and I'm finally able to give an update.
I've been able to ride with some amazing challenged athletes.
I pulled an active duty Iraq veteran the first day. He's now pulling me.
A short synopsis (I'll try and keep updating it as I get more computer access):
Day 1 SF to Santa Cruz 86 miles: Police escort out of San Francisco was way cool. It was awesome seeing Mom, Dad, Paula and Alex in Santa Cruz!
Day 2 Santa Cruz to Big Sur 86 miles: Foggy mornings through the lettuce fields. I dropped my H20 Bottle early and went back to get it and found myself lone wolfing it. I caught up to an older rider and rode with him until the SAG where we caught up with some other radio riders. The fried artichokes were way cool. Monterey is beautiful.
Day 3 Big Sur to Pismo Beach 114 miles: Wow a long day. Big Sur is stunning and hilly! Got some rain on the last leg. 4 of us radio guys got to share a cabin (picture GIFT house with one bathroom) at Big Sur which was fun.
Day 4 Pismo to Santa Barbara 119 miles: Got the hills out of the way early, so the second half was down hill. Much easier than Day 3. The weather is always great in socal.
Day 5 Santa Barbara to Marina Del Rey 86 miles: Beautiful day and 86 miles seems like childs play compared to 100+.
