I owe you all some details, but it's 11pm & I need to get to sleep. The 1st day's ride up to Laguna Beach was 65 beautiful miles that could only have been better if the sun was out more. We stayed in Pasedena with host families. Dan & I stayed with Wilson & Stephanie & we couldn't have been more lucky.
On day 3, we crossed the San Gabriel mountains & climbed from ~1000 ft to almost 8000 ft over about 40 miles. Very very tough day. We had an event to be at so the ride was called early after about 60 miles. Max speed going up, 7. Max going down, 41!
Today was a pleasant 45 mile trip to Barstow Ca. It was a good day for all of us to get our legs back after the severe climbing of yesterday. Tomorrow is scheduled for 100+ miles into the Mohave desert. We leave at 7 am.
I have pictures to load & will try again to get some vids up. Stay tuned. Good night.
Steve

Ginny and I are glad you made it to Vegas safely. We were trying to find how to answer you - both of us being in IT...! I'll tell her what I did - assuming this works for my second try! Enjoy the ride and here's to no saddle sores!! Carol
