Narrow bridge
When this bridge was built, it was probably a two lane bridge. But modern American cars have grown so wide that it is now classed as a single lane bridge.
Just say no to atoms
What does this sign mean? That this village doesn't have nuclear weapons? Or nuclear power plants? Or MRI scanners? Or smoke detectors?
Unicycle
Now I'm speechless. She's been keeping up with us the whole trip.

Medic
First stop is the medical tent. There was a tree that had dropped a large number of spherical acorn-like seeds. Cycling over those was like cycling over ball bearings. My bike slid out sideways, Newton determined that I would keep traveling straight, and the theory of gravity brought me down to the pavement. Fortunately the iPhone was undamaged. As was my bike. But I skinned my elbow. No big deal.
Organization
Lunch was really good. A very large burrito and plenty to drink. I'm very impressed with the level of organization for this ride.
Photosynthesis
Palm trees outside AT&T Park (where the ride begins). I wonder what percentage of the trees' daily light budget comes from spotlights.
Good morning
Not only is it very early, but as any web developer will recognize, it's an ominous time. This is going to be a long day.
