Flat #3! What a great day. Thank you, So Cal. (http://www.conquertheland.com)

Finally settled on the beach in Marina Del Rey. No campgrounds or friendly homes in the area... but it's a warm night so we're happy.

Once again, we walk to a bike shop. Second flat in 10 miles. Buying a new back tire for Christian. (http://www.conquertheland.com)

Carlos, our friend and veteran bike rider, hooked us up with a new tire and some words of wisdom. Thanks Carlos!
