I am cycling across the country from San Diego to St. Augustine. This is my blog, please enjoy it. In conjunction with the ride, I am raising money for the Komen Breast Cancer Fund. Please consider donating by copying this link into your browser: Thanks!

day 1 Mar 22 42.5 miles











We rode 1.5 miles to Dog Beach, just south of Mission Bay in San Diego, from Pt. Loma Hostel, and took pictures with bikes in the ocean as we were sinking in the wet sand. We then headed up 40 miles to Alpine, CA at 2,400 ft. We stayed at a nice campground on an Indian Reservation, and had some sort of something that was like spagetti purpotedly with chunks of squirrel meat. Ha, we have a funny group. (We did see quite a bit of road kill on the ride...) My new REI tent was great. Adventure Cycling has a 15 passenger van that is stocked to the gills with our stuff and with cooking gear, etc., and can carry about 15 bikes on top. There are 2 leaders, one drives and one rides with the slowest rider, and they swap each day. We have a variety of skills and ages and speeds, and people are joining up with others of the same speed. The weather has been stupendous. About 30 miles from San Diego we found bargain avacodos for sale.
