It’s a long way from Vancouver to San Diego. Close to 3,000 kilometres. Riding in all types of weather and camping all the way, it will be a long grind.
Of course hundreds… maybe thousands of people have done this trip, and I’ve read some of their accounts. But their journey is not our journey. And with just two days until we set off, I feel strangely nervous.
This plan was hatched eight months ago. My neighbour has done a couple of long-distance bike tours and the idea appealed to me.
I asked my 20-year-old daughter if she’d be interested in biking across Canada. She wasn’t. But she returned and asked if I’d be interested in a different trip – biking to Mexico. And so we are.
Me – a 60-year-old with the motivation, time and resources to make this journey possible. Sophie, with the free-spirited and adventurous nature required for being my partner.
Let the mile grinding begin.
Congratulations!!!
Wishing you moderate weather, smooth road surfaces,and soft camp sites to rest your weary legs. Looking forward to following you on your ride….better your legs than mine!
