We're off!

24 Mar
Distance: 55 mi
Avg Sped: 12.25
Climb: 6012 ft

It was a foggy morning in San Diego when we began our ride. We completed our Pacific Ocean dip (photo above) suffering only lost one pair of sunglasses in the surf and a few pairs of wet shoes from a rougue wave.Within the first 12 miles we had two flat tires and a broken pedal clip strap. Following a detour to a bike shop to pick up a used strap, courtesy of Bruce found on his Droid telephone, the sun came out and we were on our way in perfect California weather. As you can tell from the stats above, it was a TOUGH ride for us flatlanders. We were rejuvenated by a fine lunch in Alpine and all arrived safely at our home for the night in Pine Valley (photo below). Three of us took turns driving, but Dave and his son, Bruce (who joined us for the day) both completed the whole ride - congratulations to both of them!


By Lee for all of us
