Mission description

This is a blog about travel, adventure, charity, and bikes. It's the story of my trip from San Francisco to wherever the road ends.
My goals are:
(1) Get as far as I can south - cycling, hitching, or whatever - before my time and money run out.
(2) Try to understand social inequality in the areas I travel through, and to do what I can to help.
My tools are my trusty bike, Magnum, my thumb, this blog, and the following websites, for which I am an ambassador:
You can follow the adventure right here, and you can see how it all started, and what it's all about, using the tabs above. If you want to be notified of new posts, you can subscribe using the links down on the right, or by liking the Wheels of Fortune Facebook page.

The body electric

Feb 13th

Another cold, but slightly less frosty morning awaited me. I made breakfast in the park, feeling the perennial balance of homeless person/bike tourist shifting towards the left. At least I wasn't drinking from a brown paper bag.

Homeless in a park. But a nice park.
Back on wheels again I pointed Magnum towards Vicente Guerrero, and enjoyed a ride through a morning and a countryside vivid in every way. The way was generally flat with a small shoulder, and with Mogwai's sun smells too loud echoing through my mind, I think I may have actually been flying up and down the occasional hills. It was electric and it looked like this:






After a couple of hours of blissful riding, I rolled over an unusually nice bridge, over an unusually wide dry riverbed, and found myself in Vicente Guerrero, or VG to some.
I get it, I'm in Baja California.
