Brad - We pressed on down 101 to Oxnard for lunch and then I split off looking for the Memorial to Alaska flight 261. Apparently it was blocked off because of construction so I never saw it but that put and extra 8 miles on my legs and I arrived at the camp ground about 20 minutes behind the group. Also noticed my tire was going flat. It was interesting that no one in Oxnard could tell me exactly where the memorial was, not even the information center. How soon we forget.

Jesse –We rode from Santa Barbara, through Ventura and to Leo Carrillo state park which is about 30 minutes from our house. The closer we got to the ending the easier the trip became as it was a little familiar to me. Although, as I was riding with Dutch, who rode it in the car earlier, said as we rode, "the end is just around the corner", but that was with about 8 miles to go. Many people from our church met us at camp that night, and they even brought Sherry another cake and a gift. It was nice to have them there and being by familiar territory. The ride was relatively easy, a few hills, but they were not that long. I am writing this a few days later, so I forget how long the day was, but I don't think it was longer than 80-85 miles.

Craig - Jim and I feel a little more spiritual than the other riders today. Apparently they found a bike trail that went around the hill we climbed. Go chili socks! It was nice to arrive at the camp a little early today. I also want to thank Steve and Jan for stopping by to encourage us as well as all the folks from the Chatsworth Church.
