Every morning one of our leaders, Rebecca, walks around with her laptop and wakes us up with music. It changes every day and a few days ago we were in Fallon, NV and she walked around playing the song "California" by Phantom Planet, inwhich the lyrics say "California....here we come!". And so we came.
We rode to Lake Tahoe that day, which was absolutely beautiful. We camped there for two nights, and had a day off there yesterday. We spent our day off on the beach of the lake, lazing around and playing in the water and the mud. It was a wonderful day, and then today we left lake Tahoe and rode to Downieville, CA. The ride was tough, but beautiful and I realized how much I missed California! We climbed a lot of the Sierras and the last 15 miles of our ride was a beautiful downhill right along a river. Gorgeous!!!
We're staying at a family's house tonight who are letting us crash in their yard/house. They've been great and are so nice to let us into their home.
It's hard to believe that we're finally in CA. We've only got 4 more biking days until San Fran, and we'll be done! It doesn't really feel like I've ridden my bike all the way from Florida. Taking it a day at a time, it's amazing how far you can make it!
I want to thank everyone who's been reading this and has cared about what I'm doing! I'm hoping to write a couple more times before San Fran, but I never know when we'll have internet. So if this is the last post, I hope to talk to you about my trip when it's over!!
San Fran or bust!
