It's approximately 3:00 PM PST and after a late start, I'm a little over 20 miles into the ride. I hope to get in another 10 miles by nightfall.

I already made one map divergence - by accident. I went up and down a mountain when I could have gone through a valley! Whoops! I ended up at the right place though.

 Getting ready to leave the Quality Inn in San Diego, of course Stanley always wants to be in front

At my starting point, Dog Beach, San Diego, right along the San Diego River.

Having fun with some friends in Santee, CA at Starbucks...recharge with some food and recharge cell phone.

There's my buddy again with Stanley!
