I finished the as already posted event of finishing the ride but wanted to recap the day. Martin Schwatz joined me for the 1st 15 miles through Camp Penelton. We had a great time talking biz ( getting me ready for re-entry). Martin headed back and I exited the base and continued another 10 miles and found a local Oceanside diner - oh how I love breakfast.
The ride today was actually pretty hilly and working my way through La Jolla and the outskirts of SD was slow. I had hoped to make the 1:00 pm ferry to Coronado but my progress was slow and the 3:00 pm ferry was a better choice. My timing to catch the ferry also impacted Jeff Howard's ability to ride with me to the border. So I did Coronado solo. I had planned to go to Border Park but the road turned to dirt and seemed like it was not a good choice. I worked my over to the border crossing at I-5 to end my trip.

Beth Bakke an old friend from Portland met me later on my return to Coronado at the ferry and provided me with a place to stay and made an excellent lasagna dinner!!!
The legs are a good sore an and the ride was so worth the effort. Thanks to all who helped me along the way and those who sent notes of encouragement.
