Spring Training Wrap

After twelve consecutive days of riding in the mild temps of Northern Florida we are ready for C2C. We ended up with a total of 564 miles (47 per day) and some great memories. Here is a pictorial glimpse of days seven through twelve.

  2. Will you have a Bon Voyage departure entourage from San Diego? We’d love to see you off! (We’re about an hour north of San Diego)

  3. What beautiful country! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome adventures. We miss having you here. We haven’t ridden much in the last few weeks because of the rain and the never ending boat projects. The offshore equipment is piling up. We received delivery on the life raft last week. The reality of the trip is starting to sink in. Hope the start of your impending trip is picture perfect!
