Ride to the Northwest

Well here I am about 1234 miles further south than I was at my last posting. Went for a ride on my bike this morning, got all greased up with sunblock & put on my long sleeved shirt and off I went. Really didn't have any idea where I was going until I was on the road for a while & saw a sign that said beach. Really wasn't a road type sign, twas a young lass that was almost wearing a bikini. About then I noticed how warm it was and almost began to sweat (guilt?). You may wonder what this has to do with a ride out west? Well, I am soulfully & diligently preparing myself both for the ride and what may greet us when we approach the Pacific Ocean. I intend to further prepare myself..
