To Malibu we go

Another 50 miles of cycling through Ventura and Oxnard and we find ourselves setting up camp at Sycamore Canyon along the Pacific Coast Highway north of Malibu. With the weekend upon us we took advantage of the surf in Ventura and a small crew explored the Channel Islands National Park Visitor’s Center where we were reminded of the natural beauty and diversity found on the Channel Islands.

Tonight we feast on Senegalese Peanut Stew, enjoy our last night of camping, and prepare for the ride through the Los Angeles area where we will visit 9 schools over three days. To accommodate these schools some riders will head inland over the Santa Monica Mountains, through Burbank, Pasadena, Orange County and then down to Carlsbad. The coastal crew will make their way through Santa Monica, Hermosa, Newport, and then to Carlsbad where everyone will be reunited.

The energy amongst the riders is very high and we are excited for the hundreds of students we will see over the next few days.
