Three short days to go!

I know we haven't been good about blogging lately but with the end so close its hard to find the time or energy to write a post, but here I go....
Lil foot and I didn't make it woo the way to Santa Barbara when Eric caught up to us. We were going to continue on but decided to just get dropped off a couple days later where we were picked up. Eric's uncle Joe and aunt Carolyn live in the Redlands of southern California. We arrived in time for them to return from dinner and they were amazing enough to bring us back some dinner! So yummy!!!!
The ride that day would be our last one before we hit the cali hills and monster head winds. We woke up late that morning as usual and instead of riding as hard as possible we chatted the whole way and dragged ass. It was great and lazy! Eric picked us up 15 miles south of Santa Barbara and brought us to the Redlands. The next day we went to the Big Bear healing animal sanctuary, then a boat tour and then Aunt Carolyn made dinner and Uncle Joe picked up some chicken. It was very much a relaxing day off!
Sunday morning it was time to get back on the iron horse... Ugh this was not something either of us wanted to do but the thought of getting closer to the end kept us moving.

As I'm writing this I'm kind of getting bored... Nothing funny or interesting has really happened since the sanctuary, which had a three legged bear, loved him. Overall summary, the cali coast has been foggy, mostly cold and no cyclists going our way. We've camped out since Sunday and tomorrow we will arrive in Santa Cruz to join up with Double chin and Sweet cheeks! It's almost party time... We cant wait.

Today was kind of cool, besides doing our last long day, 78 miles we met a bunch of firefighters and retirees who are riding from san fran to la, and they are part of the same department that is riding from la to NY... Those guys are staying at fire houses across the country and plan to make it to NY on Sept 10th! Amazing guys!!!
Although the riding has been mundane the convo has been amazing and lil foot and I have bright plans for the future. It's going to be an amazing few years to come!

I know this post is a bit weak, but its all I have in me right now... Maybe tomorrow or Friday one of us will give some good details and stories but for now this is all you get!

Tata for now....
