It is hard to believe that I have already done over 1000 miles, but there it is. There have been times of immense nervousness (I was down to my last tube just 15 miles out of Surprise \u2013 300 miles to the next bike shop), weariness (the night trip to Desert Center), but mostly just joy and wonder, which is what I wanted. I have been in California for  three weeks, it is time for me to move on and see the rest of the country. I hope you all come along with me.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QS0WWzuTVG0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-google-maps\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m64!1m12!1m3!1d4000909.7621534276!2d-119.82719376194858!3d35.775818301490496!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m49!3e0!4m5!1s0x872b0898a6aa80e3%3A0xa2dd4aad392cb41f!2sTempe%2C%20Arizona!3m2!1d33.4255104!2d-111.94000539999999!4m5!1s0x80d34e93354c02bd%3A0x964ea2333ee6ce3a!2sWickenburg%2C%20AZ!3m2!1d33.9697664!2d-112.7301882!4m5!1s0x80da5cbf35d6df43%3A0x30543dd6ad55bfd7!2sPierce%20St%2C%20Thermal%2C%20CA%2092274!3m2!1d33.5559866!2d-116.1127413!4m5!1s0x80dcd91dc39c92d5%3A0x90a687f360d638c7!2sCA-55%2C%20California!3m2!1d33.7120264!2d-117.8485006!4m5!1s0x80ec1e9d5e069c5b%3A0x5040db85d929fe74!2sCA-1%20%26%20CA-246%2C%20Lompoc%2C%20CA%2093436!3m2!1d34.6412577!2d-120.4359417!4m5!1s0x808de8a7780e4d77%3A0x37e8d859caefac61!2sBig%20Sur%2C%20CA!3m2!1d36.2704233!2d-121.80805559999999!4m5!1s0x808f0876be1984e7%3A0xaf91526583beb53c!2sSan%20Gregorio%2C%20CA!3m2!1d37.3269704!2d-122.3864706!4m5!1s0x80850c726b66df5b%3A0xfaee3a3990d21c4c!2sAmerican%20Canyon%2C%20CA!3m2!1d38.174917799999996!2d-122.2608044!5e1!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1732309055759!5m2!1sen!2sus\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1068 miles in ?? hours (If someone wants to calculate this feel free \u2013 assume 8 hours saddle time for day 1).
