Day 2 April 27

Day 2 of the trip started by taking a walk to the UPS store in Oceanside, about 1/2 mile from my hotel. The girls @ the store were a big help & very anxious to see what was in the unusual shaped box they had been storing for the past week. They got me setup behind the store where I unpacked my bike & assembled it. Then I left for a 15 mile shakedown ride to ck out the equipment. I spent some time along the beach trail, got some lunch & spent the rest of the day un packing & re packing my equipment trying to remember where I put everything. Then off to the grocerie store for last minute food stuff. I am leaving @ 6:30 am tomo after an interview with the San Diego TV station. Tomo the weather is calling for rain & winds up to 55 mph 😁 I hope it’s a tail wind! Thanks for all the messages & support from home, it really helps. 

I found this pretty interesting. Tuesday nite I was contacted through a bicycle site I subscribe to that provides lodging for bike travelers. Three riders from France riding from New York to California were looking to stay @ my house tonite. So as I am leaving Calif tomo these 3 are spending the nite @ my house. I hope this is karma & an omen of some sort? Thanks to my great wife Glenda for doing the hosting while I am gone …….or should my wife be thanking me for being gone so she could have 3 French guys stay with her tonite 😳? Anyway will report in tomo. Will be good to get started. Remember to say a prayer to Justin, & please take time to go to the bone marrow registry site & sign up! Deletebloodcancer.org
