Fantastic First Day to Alpine.

Great first day. Cycled to Ocean Beach where Dee's cycling club gave us a rousing send off and escorted us out of town. Plenty photos of us dipping our back wheels in the Pacific. Sunny day again in the 70's. Did 43 miles today and it was all up. No reprieve, constant steady climbing. Coped well although when I was on my own took wrong turning and gave myself steepest climb of whole day. We have our own maps so do not ride as a group. Usually in pairs but I had left my partner on the hill. Had to turn back and go down hill again ahhh. Pitched tent no probs and am now nice and cosy, although dark. 8.00pm. Went to nearby casino for buffet meal. Eat as much as you like, and I did. First nation people, Indians, main clients in casino. It was a beautiful ride today through some lovely parkland. All managed although a few suffering tonight. I would say I am in the top half of the group especially on the hills. We climbed about 2000 ft. Camped in Vegas Indian Reservation, wide open space with white fences. Still loving it.
