Today we had a nice chilly breakfast at 730. Two people on cook crew have to get up early and get the breakfast ready, heat water, coffee, etc. We left camp about 845 and rode about 35 miles to near Boulevard, CA, crossing 4100 ft twice and ending with about 4000 ft vertical gain. We are at a nice campground again, about 2 miles from Mexico, at about 3600 ft. It should be in the 30s tonight, but will get to 80 tomorrow as we end at Ocotillo after a long downhill. We had bbq chicken for dinner with salad, very good. We lost one rider (George) who went home this morning, so we are down to 12. Group dynamics are progressing along well.
