After a 4 mile morning run to Ocean Beach and back, I rode my bike to downtown San Diego. I spent the rest of the morning and afternoon touring the retired aircraft carrier Midway. I also rode around the old Naval Training Center where I went to bootcamp and Electrician's Mate "A" school in1972. Had a good time reminiscing. The city has really put a lot into it making it really nice; bike and jogging trails, playgrounds, memorials to all the submarines lost since they entered service. They were lost left and right in 1942 through 1944.
I met two women at the hostel this morning from Canada who just finished a 5-week bike ride down the Pacific coast. They are here until Tuesday so I hope to talk with them more about their trip.
Another of my tour's riders arrived late this afternoon; Adrian, a retired school teacher from the UK.
Tommorrow I plan to do more bike riding around Point Loma and Mission Beach.
