Leaving Santa Barbara on my bike, so close to Tijuana
It’s now day 30-something of my bike ride from Vancouver, Canada to Tijuana, Mexico. I’ve just left lovely Santa Barbara and will be at the US-Mexican border in five riding days
Five riding days.
It’s a bit surreal. I can’t believe we’ve cycled so far. Over 1600 miles now.
The entire team shares a sense of excitement, of eager anticipation, of finality and of conclusion. We start discussing what we’ll be doing in two weeks time. Who’s flying back home right after the trip. Who’s hop on a train. Who will keep riding down in Mexico.
Tonight we stop at Oxnard, and then it’s Santa Monica - Los Angeles the next day. We’re so close to our destination. I can’t wait for us to get there, and yet I don’t want this wonderful journey to end.
So close.
