Day 3 - February 11, 2010 - Coast to Coast
Impressions from the captain (the one in front):
Woke up to clear skies and warm sunshine. When we got to the higher elevation we were really glad we had waited a day (so were the legs), they had 4” of snow and black ice on the road yesterday. In the desert sunshine, you’re hot on one side and cold on the shady side. Same thing with the hills, sweat going up and need are coats going down. The highlight of the day was that we crossed both passes (over 4000’ each) today and arrived in the campground with very tired legs. Early dinner, motrin and off to bed.

Impressions from the Stoker (the one in the back):
The highlight to me is that we have just about completed the 3 most difficult days that we will have in CA and we are still standing. We just have one more pass to cross, a great downhill, and then some much needed flats for a few days. It’s driving us crazy just biking about 30 miles a day and can’t wait to put on some real miles.

We are camping east of Live Oaks Springs, CA in Sacred Rocks Reserve (619-353-5020).
Once again we are thanking wonderful people for their generous support.
