on day 6 mathew rode 84.3 miles from lompoc to ventura. at the lunch stop in isla vista family came to visit! above, mathew with his brother elijah.
above, with elijah, zoe, meg and deborah. zoe just turned 3 on wednesday. i’m guessing her older brothers must have been at school.
mathew sent me this photo when he got to santa barbara. one more day and he’ll be in LA! he asked me to bring nail polish remover! 😉
later that day mathew sent me this photo and called it a “2 lactaid dish”! normally mathew makes a huge effort to avoid all sugar and dairy, but there was so much ice cream on this ride, he couldn’t resist. the city of santa barbara hosts an ice cream social for them by the beach. this was mathew’s second helping! 😉
mae (stef and nancy’s sister) and i leave SF at 5:30 saturday morning and plan to arrive in LA by noon. we’ll be coordinating with mathew so we can see him when he rides to the finish line. i am determined to get a photo of him ON his bike! he said he’ll dawdle at the rest stops and lunch.
have a good weekend everyone! more updates when we return. xoxo
