Newport to Inns of America on a coastal route, then a another 50 mile loop to complete the 100 mile the first day. The last 50 miles was all hills! On to Mission Bay for the second day. Free massages and Carl's Jr. Hamburgers made it all worthwhile.

1998 Bay to Bay Bike Tour Rider #12
October 3 & 4
I got really lost.  The Motorcycle Amateur Radio Club (MARC) volunteers  found me and got me back on track.  I was dead last for awhile after that.  I stayed in the worst motel.  Water leaked through the bathroom ceiling and there was a rat in the room, making noise and stealing my Cheese balls (I earned it!) Next year I might camp out.

October 9 & 10
They didn't call this year's ride "I'm going to ride like it's 1999", but I was.  The last century ride of the century!  A lot like last year's, maybe that's why I didn't get lost.  I had a first floor corner room at the hotel where all the festivities were, so I got to listen to the band play all night.  I got brand new tires for the ride, just to be safe.  Turns out one of them had a cut in it, so I got a free (used) one from one of the volunteer mechanics.  Finished the ride with no flats or mechanical problems at all.  I took the tire back to Holland's bike store and they gave me another one.  Click here for more details about the ride.

October 7 & 8

October 6 & 7
The big plans of riding in Rio de Janiero fell through, but I did ride on the ship and in Hawaii. Click here for details of the ride and a few photos.

October 5 & 6
I wasn't really into it this year, I didn't even bring my camera. Ron and Reina from my Church did the ride. We met half a dozen times over the weekend. I think they were stalking me...

That was really neat, maybe I'll try to recruit more people to do the ride next year. The ride itself was awesome. Between all the sports drinks and glucosamine/chondroitin, I probably had my fastest and strongest ride. While I was away, Meredith blew a fuse in her electric wheelchair Saturday night when the up/down joystick hit the counter in the bathroom. It raised itself, broke the switch, blew a fuse and stranded her there. Bobby responded better than any trained monkey ever could, and I fixed it when I got home on Sunday.

October 12 & 13
What an awesome ride! I'm going to be on a team next year! Go here for the "play by play" and photos from the ride. It was a blast! Thanks for your continued support.
