Day 188. Oct 29th. Monday. Fontana to Santa Monica, CA

It’s way past my usual bed time and haven’t had a minute to write this.

YEEHAH, made it to the end.

The three M’s, Mark, Matt, and Murray, snd the three A’s, Allen, Allison, and myself, left together this morning for the last ride of the trip.  It was solid town from our motel to the end.  One city just blended into another one.  Not even a vacant lot.  Too many people and too much traffic.

Allen led most of the time and Allison navigated and they did an awesome job.  It would have taken me a lot longer to navigate through town.  So many turns.

We rode across Rodeo Drive and down Sunset Blvd.  Didn’t really have time to take in the sights much because we had to watch traffic.  But I can say I’ve been there.

Went straight to the pier and took pictures at the end of rte 66.  Made it to the hostel by about 3:00.  Long day but very pleasant weather.  Only in the mid 70’s.
