Day 19: San Francisco, CA to Santa Cruz, CA

9/28/2013

Today begins the California Coast Classic, 8 days of cycling I've done 5 times before. I'll be camping each of the next 7 nights, with a support crew carrying our gear from site to site. About 225 riders have collectively raised more than $1 million for the Arthritis Foundation, including our 6-person Links for Life team, which is the #2 fundraising team overall. San Francisco is a wonderful city, but I'm already yearning for sleepy Pacifica, Half Moon Bay and Davenport, the coastal communities that take me 78 miles to Surf City, USA, Santa Cruz.

Not a bad place to (re)start, eh?

See you in 11 days!

I can relate, just not to the fishing part

Great color contrast in this shot

Yes, there is a Lighthouse at Pigeon Point Lighthouse, but it's falling down so you can't go in

What a great day!

It's nice to see people who want to create a big effort for other people. I hope that your team collects a big amount of money so that you can help more people. Cycling is the best way to go to different places, but I'm not aware that cycling can also be used to help to different people. I hope that more people will join your group. I wish for your safe journey and good luck in your future adventures.

On August 14, 2013, I'm flying to Vancouver, British Columbia and beginning a 29-day, 1,880-mile bike ride from Canada to Mexico.

On this page you'll find random ramblings before, during, and after my trek down the Pacific Coast. Prior to BikeTheCoast13, I'll blog about my prep, training, and thoughts from the road.
While visiting my blog, I hope you'll offer comments, suggests, and words of encouragement. I'm going to need all the help I can get!

For those who don't know me or my inspiration, please take a moment to check out the Why Now? tab to meet my daughter Lindsey and find out how I got here.

If this site helps or inspires you in any way, I hope you'll consider making a small donation to the cause.
