Day 1: Chula Vista to Pine Valley

A few stats for today's ride: 
Distance covered: 49.8 miles
Ride time: 5.5 hours (or so)
Average speed: 8.2 mph
Max speed: 35 mph, coming into Pine Valley
Total elevation gain: somewhere over 4,000 ft. 
Damage done: one broken mirror (as I was leaving out the front door!) and one skinned knee (mine)

Lesson learned:
-more sunscreen
- take more pictures (this was a little hard today because it's basically my backyard, no new scenery for me!)
- Save the caffeinated drinks for lunch and dessert for dinner

I'm taking handwritten notes to craft a few better posts later when I'm not quite so tired. I'll be posting from just my iphone from now, unless we have time at a public library or a motel with computer access. 

Yesterday's warm up ride to the Pacific Ocean at Imperial Beach. 

Today's only picture, coming out of Bonita, only about 6 miles in but probably the steepest hill.
