Today I started a page about a bike ride I took from San Francisco to LA, back in 1973, using a Japanese 10-speed bike I'd gotten in 1960. Sadly, I didn't write a journal during the trip, and took no photographs, so for a long time I thought I only had some recollections of the trip but wouldn't be able to really describe much about it. But I was visiting my cousin Linda last year, and to my great surprise, she pulled out a thank-you letter I'd written to her folks Don and Dee (my aunt and uncle). And I'd described the trip for them in the letter! l couldn't believe my luck that she'd saved it all those years.
So I've created this page about the trip, which is essentially a transcription of the thank-you letter. I've added details that I remember, that weren't included in the letter. I had a lot of fun on that trip, and I'm sure glad my cousin saved that letter all these decades so that I could enjoy the memories again.
