SF:SD Ragged Point to Morrow Bay

We woke to: guess what? Fog!  Here’s what is looked like from the back of our room.  Brenda commented “What ocean?”

The fog was so dense, the visibility on the road so poor, that most of us were hesitant to get on the road on our bicycles. The café didn’t open until 8:00 so that delayed us somewhat.  And then we got reports from locals that the fog was not as dense down the road. And sure enough by mile five the visibility was significantly better.  At mile nine, we stopped to observe baby Elephant Seals – nasty creatures.

The rest of the day was part sun and part fog.  But mostly fog.

Today was an easy ride, about the same distance as yesterday but with only one fourth the climbing.  And we had a significant tail-wind. My only difficulty was keeping up with Brenda who seemed anxious to get to Morrow Bay. CLICK HERE TO SEE ROUTE. Navigation in town, primarily on bike paths, was tricky but Brenda figured out every turn. We were at the motel by 1:15.  Unfortunately the van with our clothes – including dirty clothes – didn’t arrive for another hour.  But we have guest laundry – and internet – for the first time in three days.

It looks like you missed the turn off to Santa Rosa Creek Rd. Good decision!
