Quick, Overnight Bicycle Touring

Going home the easy way. This is the end of my s48o — one I won’t soon forget. I always wanted to ride from my Santa Barbara home to my childhood home. It was even better than I imagined to ride my by high school, jr. high, and then the quiet streets of one of Southern California’s most peaceful suburbs. My parents and family were kind to put up with all of this and my dear Mom even washed all my bike gear while I visited my sister in Newport Beach.

My key regret is that I didn’t order the pacific coast map from Adventure Bicycling and that I allowed myself to ride some very dangerous, urban terrain. I am lucky that I survived (I am pricing some higher levels of life insurance for 2012!)

Until the next adventure!
