on the road again

---

on the 24th we rode today cabrillo national monument. there's also lighthouse there. it was only appropriate because the first half of our trip also started with a lighthouse. we climbed 500 feet. it was a good warm up for our trip.

on the 25th we left san diego at about 630. we wanted to get an early start on sunday to avoid traffic. it worked beautifully. who rode about 37 miles and climbed 2500 ft. we spent the night in alpine california. lit was a very cool hotel. sam went for a swim outdoors. bob didn't. we all agreed that we had all we needed. my leg muscles were quite sore. we didn't take any breaks the entire day, we did however have multiple keithaca waits. that is what we decided to call, in honor of our buddy who is not here.

On the 26th we left alpine for pine valley california. it was a short day 17 miles, but we climed another 2500 ft. again that's all we needed. I still have sore muscles. and weven are climbing for the next 2 days.
we all agree with the scenery is worth the effort. it is incredible.
