San Diego, California, USA: 582 kms (8222 kms)

We left Las Vegas today with mixed feelings. I thought that two days would suffice and I'd be pleased to be riding away but far from it. We've had an amazing time here in this Disneyland for adults, the likes of which I never expected. We've seen all the sites that Vegas has to offer and in amongst them were some real gems. Given the financial hardships here in America and the worsening credit crunch (the Bellagio, for example, must clear $2.1 million a day to stay in business) Messers Puig, Cowing and Duncan have contributed generously to the state of Nevada. The holiday within the adventure is over and we are now in San Diego to collect some bike parts before the onward push to the Mexican border this evening. And, what a shocker, it's actually raining!

Ha Ha, Matt has brought the weather over with him. It started chucking down ver here today (Tuesday) and looks like we're in it for the remainder of the week.
How was the Cabrillo highway, worthy of a cycle trip?

So the Three Amigos now get down to some serious riding. About time! The rain is a good start, a herald of the grit and gristle to come...
