I've taken a 6 month career break to help me decide what I want to do when I grow up! This BLOG will record my adventures and chart my progress as I cycle the western pacific coast of the US for Room to Read. Find out what I've been up to and how I'm getting on...

Day 36 report pt2

...so now i can exclusively reveal how the final 250 miles will be approached

1. Thur...to santa monica...85miles
2. Fri...to Laguna beach...62miles
3. Sat...to Encinitas...50miles
4. Sun...to Imperial beach and mexican border...51miles

The riding should be flatter but not necesarily quicker as much of this will be urban. Through LA the map leads me as close to the pacific as possible on beachside bike and pedestrian ways. Not always possible and at times Ill be on roads eg from redondo beach through carson to long beach. Thats the only significant detour inland and into city.

In San Diego I need to get a ferry to Coronado with c20 miles to go. I have managed to get a hotel close enough so i can drop off my bags and do those last miles light! Of course ill have c20 miles back again at the end but there you go.

So there we are folks, Ive got a tough 4 days ahead and with the heat building Ill need to be careful on the water supplies.

Oh well, here goes for the final push!

  1. Nearly there!
    As I remember it, Coronado usually has a nice soft breeze blowing - always good to dry up any perspiration.
