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 40 Report - Encinitas to the mexican border (via San Diego) and finally back to San Diegop

Total miles 50.0 (border) 68.4 (overall)
Average speed 12.6 (both)
Total ascent 473m (border) 506 (overall).

I made it! But it was a bit of a saga and Im totally exhausted.

My back just about held out but plans of hiring a surfboard tomorrow are definitely in the unlikely to happen category.

I had a great brekky and was off at 8:44. Immediately I could tell my back had regressed. This was a sharper pain than before and my mobility was very poor. Maybe my back is telling me its time for the end of the tour!

It seemed Neptune, the greek god of the sea, was on this wavelength too. I better explain that one...

My route wound me through La Jolla, this is a very built up area (some of you know whats coming next) and nowhere to pee! I was due a stop to snack and stretch and saw a wee viewpoint ;). Wait a minute, there's steps down to the rocks...I could get away with it if noone else follows...Im going for it... All is good until Im in no position to make a speedy exit...WHOOOSH! tbc...
