Day 22: Sunday December 10th, 2006
Half the team stays in Carlsbad, while the other half of the team rides 30 miles to Pacific Beach.
Afternoon time at the beach!
After our morning regroup and repack, half of our riders took Hwy 1 south to Pacific Beach, a leisurely coastal ride through the towns and lagoons of northern San Diego County. During a smoothie stop we ran into a Sock Guy, what a small cycling world this is. Curry for dinner with Emily.
Day 21: Saturday December 9th, 2006
First non-biking day in 21 days!
Nice to get a little bit of a break from the saddle.
No schools, no planning and no biking were on the agenda today. Some people walked into Carlsbad village for coffee and brunch, others relaxed at the beach house, reading and napping. The rest of the crew braved the chilly pacific and suited up for a surf session right across the road from the beach house. Thanks to the Langen family for our wonderful accommodations and for loaning boards and wetsuits to everyone
On Saturday night we headed up to Travis’ parents home for a celebration dinner and impromptu slideshow of the trip so far. Many thanks Rich and Janice Langen for hosting and feeding us and to the rest of the Langen family and friends for their support.
On Sunday the group will split again, the majority heading down the coast to stay with an island friend Emily Fox in San Diego. Emily hosted last year’s riders
The holidays are coming? We had no idea. Sleeping in, surf sessions, bike shop visits, book store, beach walks, sore muscle hot tub soaks, communication with family, naps, and celebrations fill our day in Carlsbad. Thanks Langens for a lovely holiday party! The evening rain made us very thankful for the indoor accomodations.
