Well, day one was completed almost flawlessly. While it was raining or cloudy in most of the county, we found a hole in clouds and had mostly sunny skies and a cool breeze; a good omen.

 

I would like to thank Bonnie for keeping us honest and insisting that we actually cross the border into Mexico, and not just pose against the fence.

 

I would like to thank Ken for almost knowing which the correct lane for bicycle was as we attempted to re-enter the states.

 

I would like to thank Martin for showing us a better way to Imperial Beach.

 

But I would especially like to thank our Knicker-friends who came out to ride with us, and Gayle Ziaskas who took two flats for the cause.

 

On Wednesday the tour continues. We will be riding from La Mesa to Pine Valley, California. Knicker-friends, who will be riding with us, will be turning back at Alpine. For those who want to join us, we will be meeting at the La Mesa Trolley Station at 9:00 AM.
