We are embarking on our third consecutive cross country tour. Today the weather was beautiful in San Diego as we left the Pacific Ocean. At about mile 20, I lost my wingman Henry. Henry's bad karma with his Trek Domane, aka devil bike, continued. At mile 20 he experienced a Di2 electronic shifting breakdown and had to be rescued by our mechanic Coach. The ride ended for both of us with a seven mile climb up to Alpine, CA.
Meet the 2020 coasters. This year 46 riders from the United States, Canada, England & Netherlands are embarking on this journey.
Henry & Adrian are exuberant and seen high fiving prior to the ride.
Followed by a more composed look.
At our first SAG stop, Johanne a fellow 2019 coast 2 coast rider is seen holding a large knife. It's clear the riders will need to be on good behavior in 2020.
View along the 7 mile climb to Alpine.
A good ride for the two of us ends at a Brewery. Today we are in luck and enjoying some craft beer at Alpine Beer Company.
Would you walk a mile uphill for a 11% abv triple IPA, maybe 2? We did...the boys are back.
Tomorrow will be our most difficut climbing day on the ride as we cycle to Jacumba. That's all for now....
