Day 2.....can you say climbing?




Wow, what a day, we started off by riding to the pacific ocean from our hotel and dipped our tires in the water......friends and family came to say good-bye...and we were off!




It was a strange sensation, just riding a bike, and knowing that your destination is 3,100 miles away. I have never riden with cue sheets before, I've always been a follower....well, after 3 miles, we were lost.....ouch! That was a bit scary....but several of us put our heads to gether and got back on track and I suddenly found myself paying much more attention to the roads.....




It was a short day of riding, but the last 7 or so miles were a steep incline. There is a reason the name of the town is Alpine.....




Here are pics from the start at the beach....looking forward to tomorrow...another day on the road....
