6.20.2010Today’s ride was pretty short. It was only about 45 miles, and it was mostly downhill. We came down from Thousand Oaks to Santa Clarita through a beautiful mountain pass. I wish I could bottle up the feeling I had coasting down those switchbacks through the valley. It was just steep enough to hit a comfortable speed, and the curving road and awesome views made for a really cool descent. We’re staying now at a best western hotel and resting up for our big ride tomorrow. When we got here we got our jerseys and chamois cleaned off in the best way possible: Swimming in the hotel pool fully clothed. I’m surprised the water didn’t turn black. Tomorrow we’re finally climbing out of California and into the desert. Should be fun.
It is awesome how I've been able to follow your trip through this site. Good luck from here out. Jealously does not begin to describe how I'm feeling after seeing these pictures now too. Congrats man and I know you are making the most of it. -Andrew Neely
