Tumbling with Don

It is Christmas day. Holiday lights are reflecting off my monitor in nice patterns and I have had more than three meals already. But tomorrow morning brings a long-dreamed-about adventure; a trip down Highway One from Santa Barbara to Rossmoor, California. 

It’s nothing more than an intermediate bike tour but it has everyone in the family behaving as if I’m out to run a marathon with no training. I have looked up some routes and maps but decided to wing it. I’ll camp tomorrow at Leo Carillo State Beach and then take off early to flow with LA traffic through Torrence and North Long Beach. 

My pal Steve Lange did this ride in one day. I have the Long Haul Trucker loaded down and will glide along at 10mph. Shouldn’t be a problem. Right?

I’ll post pictures from my adventure with the Tumblr iPhone client and welcome any guidance from others as I go.
