The Pedalshift Project 281: The Missing Link – Part 2

Continuing The Missing Link bike tour of southern California. Part 2 chronicles my ride from Carlsbad through Marine Camp Pendleton, and the host of jinxes I threw at my soon-to-be-amended tour plans… with special guest star, audio-ruining wind gusts!

The Missing Link – Part 2

This part covers part of day 2… because it got a little crazy and needs to be split into two! A couple of things:

  • The cross winds created some periods of time when the audio is less soundscape and more “annoying.” I tried to edit out the worst of the worst without cutting out some of the stories I was telling and the sights I was describing.
  • The amount of times I jinxed this ride in this episode is simply staggering. I taunted the bicycle gods aplenty, and I preview what they did to me towards the end of this episode. All  can say is, clearly I deserved it.

Statistics

Partial list because we’ll cover all of day 2’s stats next episode… but partial list:

Number of Marine Base cycling permits accrued 1
Bagel shop reviews 1
Number of times I foolishly taunted the bicycle tour gods with proclamations of my plans 44
Flats… <sigh> see you next week…
