This 20 mile per day goal puts a whole new spin on cycle touring. It’s so easy, there’s zero stress. Wake up without an alarm, enjoy a leisurely breakfast, cycle away slowly. I got to La Misión around 10:30, had a second breakfast overlooking the ocean and decided to take a room at Poco Cielo.

Gus saw my bike and joined me for breakfast. A pioneer in the cannabis industry he has a nice place in Nayarit, if I’m in the neighborhood. We’ll be in touch

Greg, on the other hand, was determined I be terrified of the dangers which await me

An active construction site. I thought it was an abandoned project from the distance, but people were pounding away inside

Looking back at towards Rosarito. I was never really away from developments the entire route

I wonder if there’s a stem cell solution to bursitis…

JoEllen was so delighted I spoke English that we chatted for the longest time. She persisted in exploring my “Hebraic” features and was delighted to learn I have Sephardic roots, she being Ashkenazi. When she heard I have Scottish lineage on my mother’s side she got chills, as it’s clear that Mary Magdalene is a grandma of mine.

I’m glad to be in a place where someone can spend hours drawing pictures in the sand

This $50 experience included two complementary margaritas

Today's ride: 21 miles (34 km)
Total: 84 miles (135 km)
