Well, the adventure begins! As you can see in the picture, we started out with a day of rain so I put on my full rain suit. It was comfortable & I thought I was staying dry, but by the end of the day everything I was wearing was soaked.
Here I am dipping the rear wheel in the Pacific Ocean to begin the journey
We have 3 countries represented - Germany, USA, Canada
Bubba says if you make it for the 1st two days, you will make it to St Augustine. That is because we spend 2 days climbing the mountains from the Pacific Ocean. There were 2 big challenge hills today & I’m happy to report that I pedaled every bit of them. I received some great support from Joanne, my daughter Laurie & grandson Luka. Lots of scenic rock formations to see, but the rain kept me from wanting to stop & take pictures.
Have a nice hotel room tonight. Forecast is for more rain tomorrow 😩
WDYLT (What Did You Learn Today) - ILT (I learned that) the physical training that I did in preparation for this journey appears to have been enough. Guess I’ll know for sure tomorrow.
