Friday, September 17 ... Solvang Training Ride

We drove up from San Diego and are staying at the Belmond El Encanto Inn Santa Barbara. Very swanky! After lunch on a beautiful patio we put on our riding togs and drove to Solvang. We did a wonderful 50 mile training run alone highway 246 from Solvang to Lompoc and return Via Santa Rosa Road. It was a beautiful farming valley with very little traffic and some wonderful hills to slowly climb and then race down the other side. Tomorrow we hope to do about 80 miles.

One Month Away!!

A month from today we'll be leaving San Francisco's Embarcadero, riding through the city heading for the beach. Once there we'll be riding along the cost almost the entire way! It should be fun, difficult, beautiful, exhausting, inspiring, grueling and just about any other adjective you can think of!

This week we're in Santa Barbara doing some training rides. I'll post some pictures as they become available.

Please come back for regular updates and thanks for your support for Challenged Athletes Foundation.
