I sure hope that we are reading this together today and I was successful in my epic journey or this blog won't be real fun to read.

Song of the day.

Celebrate - Kool and the Gang

So close......

I should pass right by Oceanside today.

What are the chances I'm waiting for Aaron today?

Over a year ago I was crippled and depressed.  I failed when I set my sights on something.  

Perhaps failed is harsh, but my body gave out, which certainly was humbling.

Either way, that was certainly not what I'm accustomed to.

I'm so close and so happy that you are here to share it with me.

Vista, CA here we come.

Thank you for your support now and forever.  You helped me succeed every step of the way.

Song of the day.

Make A Change - Nahko & Medicine for the People

I don't know how yet, but I think this ride will change me in some positive way.

Ahboo.  See you at the finish line.

Pahshah..... only 60 Miles.  Weak sauce.

Flashback Photo of the Day

How cool is this picture?

It has been enlightening to reflect on all of these pictures.  Sometimes we get bogged down in all of the hard stuff.  The smiles have always been there, it's nice to look backwards now.  Life is good.  We are blessed and have done so many amazing things.

I look forward to doing so many more.

One more day and I get to see you.

This is one of those songs that spoke to me before I embarked on this epic journey.  

I want to embrace every second, I want us to live.

Song of the day.

I Lived - One Republic

The blog rolls on to the end of the journey, so keep reading.

You need to read tomorrows blog early before you hit the plane.

This seems like something that might be on my daily blog as well.

Is that deep or profound?



There's a picture in my future that looks something like this.

Traveling today to Santa Monica, which means nothing right now, but I'm sure it will soon enough.

"A picture is worth a thousand words" Right?

I love your smile.  See you soon.

I almost bought you the "Pacific Coast" video on TACX films, but I thought that may be too much pressure.  Zwift a big hill for me today.  I Love You.  Only a couple days, can you believe this?

I stumbled upon this song today, apparently it just came out.

Song of the day.

Vacation - Dirty Heads

The lyrics seem appropriate, make a change right?  

A not so subtle reminder to enjoy every second of this ride, just like you told me.

Have I thanked you enough?  Not sure I can, thank you.

That's just how I roll.

Think there is a pool in Goleta?

Maybe a pub?

Sending good beach vibes to my ladies.

More beach vibes.  Love this picture.  You are all so beautiful to me.

I'm going to eat like a beast today....... 

One more big day before I get to draft Aaron for 4 hours straight, he should enjoy that.

Song of the day and on my way to Hollywood.

Relax - Jeff & Frankie Go to Hollywood

One more monster ride before rest day......

With the finish line in sight (and a rest day).  I have a feeling that this will be the stretch that I remember.  8 days straight was hard, 1000 miles was far, back to back to back centuries will be epic.

Look right, take it in.  

Don't be a baby..... your on an epic vacation, she says.

Everyone's watching.....

A good time to remind myself "I wanted this...."

I have a feeling I'll still be smiling though.

I thought a song of the day with some mental imagery might be good.

Best Day of My Life - American Authors

2017, August 31

Pray for flat roads and tailwinds.

I've done some pretty epic things on the bike, today in my blog seems like as good a time as any to remind myself.

I'll probably have to sing my Dory song like I did throughout both Deathrides and my trek up Heleakala.

"Just Keep Pedaling......"

It's that simple right?

Pulling straight from my Deathride playlist..... Here's your song of the day.

Somebody Get Me a Doctor - Van Halen
