Day Forty-Five: "All Downhill From Here" (15 February) 81 mi

Wasn't sure where I would end today. So I paced myself early on as I headed to Palmdale. Getting into L.A. County was a hell of a milestone, good to finally get out of that huge San Bernardino. I had some serious climbs heading southwest from Pearblossom then it was ALL downhill. Sure a climb here and there but I couldn't care less. Also had my second tunnel on Soledad Canyon Rd. Now I'm in Santa Clarita just off I-5, looking at a 46 mile day tomorrow to the finish line.
