Balboa Park & WH Cycling Connections

We headed up to Balboa Park for a quick tour to check out the Cactus Gardens and to take in the general ambiance around all the museums clustered in the park. There are some pretty funky and many nasty looking cacti out there, and surely we will see many of them as we continue riding in the desert down the Baja. From Balboa Park we headed to South Park to meet up with Nelly, Jerome, and their 6-year old daughter Josephine who are also cycling from Whitehorse to Central America. We compared notes on our favourite and less favourite parts of the trip and shared advice we had each gathered regarding the road ahead. After missing each other several times due to the zigging and zagging we each did down the coast, it was fun to finally connect. They are heading down the Baja soon as well, so we may meet up again down the road.Read more
