Continuing The Missing Link bike tour of southern California. Part 3 chronicles my ride from  Marine Camp Pendleton to San Clemente. Sort of. Plans were scuttled, but adventures were had! The passive voice does a lot of heavy lifting in this episode...

The Missing Link - Part 3 This part covers the type 2 part of day 2... because it got a little crazy. In the edit, things seem way less onerous than they kind of were, but it's good to hear I kept a reasonable attitude. You love pods where my plans get scuttled, right?   Go check out FOTS and Pedalshift Society member Greg Braithwaite's videos of HIS CA tour over at Bike Vids on YouTube... I'm going to give this more of a shout out next week, but my insanely busy week shouldn't prevent you from checking them out. Hoping to get Greg on the show soon! Statistics

• Number of tubes punctured by a rogue Marine base thorn 2
• Number of nuclear power plants walked past 1
• Number of rides hitched 1
• Ride shares taken 3
• Trains taken 1
• Missing links completed .44
• Missing links remaining .44 (math was never my strong suit)
