I have been off of my bike for a couple weeks now. Although it's nice to relax, I always feel better when I'm riding on a regular basis. I headed out this morning around 8:30 and decided to take a route that would take me all the way around Lake Hodges in North County San Diego. Although I've taken similar routes in the past, I wanted to make this one a little different.
Chelsea King is a Poway High School student that has been missing since last Thursday. She is a member of the cross country team and went for a run by herself around Lake Hodges. She never came back. Someone has been arrested on DNA evidence, but she has not been found yet. Today's ride was to honor Chelsea and her family for all of the pain that they have all went through. Life can be cruel. There are definitely bad people in this world and once again we are reminded of that.
The ride was very surreal. It's very sad to ride all the way around the lake, some 40+ miles and know that her life was ended in the near vicinity. Helicopters were in the air all around the lake, divers were in the water. The ride was peaceful, not much else to say. Hopefully, there will be a good ending to the story, but it's doubtful. Godspeed to all!
