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 38 report pt 4

...Some less good news was that my back was sore today. A long day yesterday with no proper lunch stop maybe and im getting lazy with stops again. As a stop now is not accompanied by an amazing view as often I just want to get the miles done.

Back to the mist...it was quite eerie cycling in the mist on the beach. maybe halloween was coming early after all. Aaaaah!

Finally the beach path ended at Huntington beach and I was back on Highway 1. Unfortunately this was about 4 on Friday in Newport Beach so quite busy. But not in the same league as earlier...I had more of a lane/shoulder...and I made it safely to my motel in Laguna beach. Fab Thai dinner and 2 Thai lagers. Thai has been one of my fave foods of the trip. Light, relatively healthy with veg and not too fatty..and good carbs in rice/noodles. Yum.

Now I have circa 100 miles to the border and not too many on big roads. Tomorrow I go thro Pendleton marine base!

Back to early starts I think...no rush hour at the weekend! Yahoooo!

  2. No mention of the temperature. Was it as hot as predicted?
