This blog will be posted late due to the lack of internet service. It’s interesting that we can find internet service almost anywhere in the world, including the smallest towns in Spain. But no service has been available for the past two days in California.
Today (Wednesday) we finally had morning sun mingled with morning fog. This made for fabulous photos. Click on any photo for a larger image.
Today was the most difficult ride in this tour, 49 miles and over 4,000 feet of climbing. The climbing is the difficult part; the miles are easy. But we felt good, other than my saddle sores, and were finished with the ride by 2:00.
For much of the day we could easily smell the the wild fennel growing beside the road.
End of the cheers: All week we’ve been on the same route at the Amgen Coastal (charity) ride. As we pass their support stops there’s ringing of cow bells and cheering. As I rode into Ragged Point at the end of our ride today the cheering was particularly loud. But the cheers should go to their riders who had another 20 miles and another 1,000 feet of climbing – then had to sleep in tents! The cheering is over for us; their routes are different than ours from now on.
