This blog site documents my solo cross country bicycle adventure that goes from San Diego California to St. Augustine Florida - 3,200 miles. The trip is planned from November 21st until January 5th. The goal is to ride 80 miles per day for 40 days with 2 days of transport and 2 days for rest or bad weather. Gonna be a major challenge and a trip to remember!

Are you sure you know what you are doing? I bet you eat funny food if you are from California?
Carl was a PRO with this tire. In fact, he changed it faster than I could change the tires on my bike. I was impressed at the "good deed" he did on this first day of the year. He only asked for $50 from the lady :-)
