We asked Dempsey's employee to take our photo and right after he took it, Betty, the young lady in the photo asked if she could be in a photo. Not wanting to disappoint her, we complied. Santa Rosa, CA
Planning and training for a long ride is absolutely the best thing you can do. Have the right equipment, plan in detail, put in the training, and have a good time. Well, things do not always go according to plan. Although we have done some time at the gym recently, actual time on the bikes has been sparse. A little over a week ago, we loaded up the bikes and rode from Santa Rosa, CA to Petaluma. Dempsey's Restaurant and Brewery turned out to be a good half way point. 42 miles round trip, we are ready to go!
And the blog. I have been an experienced blogger for about 20 minutes now, thanks to my kind hearted neighbor who is an experienced blogger. I should have asked him if I could post his blogg link. Part of that planning thing.
We are leaving tomorrow morning from the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge. We have ridden from Santa Rosa to the bridge so we decided to start there. I am taking my bike to Rudy's house, loading it in the his truck and we will get an early start in the morning.
I hope to post daily between here and San Diego over the next 11 or 12 days.
Looks like you guys are doing some heavy lifting. Good thing you had some help. Good luck!

Hey Dad and Larry - I heard yesterday was a long ride but you guys DID IT! With the weather being so magnificent today, you must be loving riding along the curves of the coast of California. I love that you guys are LIVING your dreams not just wishing and hoping they happen some day. You both are an inspiration to us all. Love you and look forward to seeing some photos. - Karen
