March 4, 2016, San Diego to Alpine California 62 miles from the Pacific.
I arrived in San Diego yesterday assemble my bike and then went to the Fablab. This morning my friend Paul mauer met me at Mission Beach for the tired dip. It was more like a baptism then a dip as an unexpected wave caught me off-guard. So I started the ride with wet shoes and socks. It was a beautiful ride up the canyon at just over turtle speed. The road was good but it goes straight up the mountain for about 90 miles. So much for starting out easy. Camp happy is set up at a little campground just outside Alpine California. It is beautiful here in the high country. Today was hot with a nice little breeze at my back. As the sun sets it really cools off. Might have to put my longjohns on tonight. Take care
Love
