Our Journey Begins

Quote of the Day: "Ugh, my butt and stomach. I feel like I need to diarrhea and vomit at the same time." -RT
 We took the obligatory group picture at Torrey Pines Beach, unfortunately for us the weather alternated between misting and light rain all morning. Actually, due to heavy rain at 05:30, we had an extra hour of sleep in the hopes of avoiding the rain. It wasn't till 10:20 that we finally set off toward Huntington Beach and Los Angeles.

Roommates for three years now.

Oceanside, CA: lunch stop.

Still lovin' my Giant :)

Still smilin' after ascending yet another coastal hill.

Somewhere along the Pacific Coast Highway 1

Huntington Beach: sunset dinner

**********
Overall, a successful first ride. We were blessed with pleasant weather after the initial light rain in the late morning. The last group reached the dinner site around 17:40, so just about seven hours after departure from San Diego. Our total mileage was just under 80 miles. Tomorrow, we have a non-riding day to recuperate. The big activities will be a lunch event at the USC Medical Center and dinner at Haven Gastropub in Pasadena. Friday we head east toward Las Vegas.
