here we go

i guess people are reading (hopefully enjoying) this blog so i think it will have to stay for the remainder of the trip. thanks by the way, it makes it fun for me too knowing my family and friends are interested. alright, done making chit-chat.

so this is the last day in san diego, it's exciting that we are about to begin our journey, but a bit sad that we have to leave this amazing city. kinda winded things down today, the group went for a short ride while me and a few others stayed back (i had to replace my chain) to finish up some last minute stuff. decided to take one last cruise out on PCH (i can call pacific coast highway "pch" now since i've been on it more than a few times) to enjoy the scenery and the weather. can't say how amazing it is to ride with the breeze and scent of the ocean the whole time. i think being out here makes you realize how long the winters are in the midwest. no complaints though, that is until i see the real winter in chicago.

i think i mentioned this before but i am on support the first day so tomorrow is probably more challenging for us than it will be for the riders. since i won't be riding, ill probably grab my bike for a photo opportunity and a quick wheel dip but then quickly throw it on the rack and get moving. apparently there is a 5k about 15 miles up pch that may force me to re-route the day. we will see, sink or swim, right?
