What a day! Severe winds kept me awake through the night, so I got something of an early start. Met another touring cyclist along the way—Tony Morgan. Nice guy, also rode the coast then decided to keep going in pieces.
The route I (hastily) planned to Andrea's took me up a big hill, then partway down to a dead end, which was frustrating. I backtracked, stopped in a library & planned a new route. Got here around 2 instead of, say, 11.
Kim's relatives are all very nice—we drove to Temecula to join Andrea's grandmother & aunts & uncle & cousin. Got into a car accident going to dinner—no one was hurt, but I guess that's just California. Now I'm exhausted & I hope to get at least halfway to the Rowans' tomorrow.
