Day: 84 The sun came up, and I woke up. Didn’t even bother to check the time until I had broken down my camp and was about to set out for the days ride. 7:10am. The sun was just breaking through the fog and mountains as I hit PCH. I rode hard for the first [...]
Day: 83 4:10 am, my alarm starts to beep me awake, signaling the start of the next leg of The World Tour. I haven’t blogged for a week now and haven’t done any hard core traveling in three. The last few days I have been itching to get back out on the road. I drug [...]
Day: 82 I woke up early today excited about my longest ride yet, from Newport to Riverside (home). I left Newport at 7:15 weighted down (for the first time with all my gear), and headed to the Santa Ana river trail that would take me the first 27 miles towards home. After the first 20 [...]

Day: 77 Feeling lazy…
Day: 76 This little stop home could have been of the best World Tour choices I could have made. It’s helping me get my bearings and start to once again see the unique and different things I was seeing everyday in the last 75 days of travel. I am starting to feel re-energized and am [...]
Day: 75 Today is the first day since I bought my bike that I didn’t set out for a heavy ride to help get into shape. Instead I went to the grocery store with Aaron with a list of stuff that we needed for our family holiday gathering at the beach. Everyone (aunts, uncles, cousins, [...]
