September 18 - Sunday; San Diego.
Not a lot happening today. I ran 4 miles to the beach and back this morning. It was cool, overcast and very humid!. I did not ride down Point Loma and by the submarine base as I had planned. The shakedown ride tomorrow goes that way so I figured I'd rest today. All but a couple of the group are here at the hostel. After breakfast most of us sat around discussing the trip, our past experiences, etc.. I went to the market across the street to purchase a few small items for the trip. Several of us had lunch with Ray, the tour leader. Ray lives in Lander, WY which is near the Wind River range and recently retired after 35 years with the BLM. Susi and I hiked 5 days in the Wind River range a few years ago. This area is SPECTACULAR. After lunch we went with Ray back to the market to purchase group items for the trip. There is a group meeting at 7:00 pm tonight to go over details of the trip.
I think my iTouch finally died last night. I'm about ready to throw it into the ocean to put it (me?) out of its misery! [later: I did finally pitch it into a lake in Palo Verde. A couple of my riding partners thought I'd thrown my cell phone in until I explained that the iTouch was broken].
Tomorrow is a group "shakedown" ride to Cabrillo National Monument and back fully loaded.
