Coming at you by land, sea . . . and more land, join me for 100 miles along the Strand, Sat Feb 1, to commemorate my 40th. Midnight to sunrise, sunrise until sunset. We’ll sleep when we’re dead.
I imagine most people will want to join for the bike portion. Meet at Miramar Park, by Torrance Beach, at 6:30 am if you want to ride a surprisingly easy and pleasant 44 miles along some of the best coastline in the world.

Done. 101 Miles for Ukraine.
Thank you to everyone who supported this ride, donated to the cause, or otherwise made this possible. Especially my family.
I should say something profound right now, but a shower and sleep is calling, it will have to wait.
Rest easy everyone. Sergeant Goldsmith, out.
