Day 2 - Alpine to Jacumba

In a nutshell, day 2 was a climbing day.  We started the day with a 15 mile climb with nearly 5,000 of ascent for the day.

The best part of C2C is meeting fellow riders and getting out to explore various towns.  While Adrian and Henry were out and about, we found what appears to be Bubba or his brother.

We end our blog today with the hit song by Talking  Heads called Once in a Lifetime.  We came to the realization that many of the themes capture our state of mind on C2C.

Seen here are the boys with Bubba's lookalike sporting a growler of beer.

Making new friends on C2C.

After climbing nearly 5,000 feet, we found ourselves in the Jacumba mountains  overlooking Mexico.

Check out this hit song Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads.  The thought crossed our minds how did we get here??  This isn't our beautiful wife or our beautiful house either?  Or where does this highway go?  Sometimes we wonder what have we done?

Tomorrow we have a long descent off the mountain into the Yuha Desert enroute Calexico.
