Day Two-Santa Cruz to Monterey

Waking up after doing about 90 miles the first day, most of our legs were a little tired :)! The crew made an amazing breakfast; one that I typically might eat on a Sunday morning....meaning, everything you could imagine, they had made for us. We can tell that there will not be any shortage of food at camp and the chefs are happy to keep us fueled! But I cannot eat most of what they made...it's not Sunday and I'm going to ride and can't think about putting all that food down.. But, the guys?? No problem....they eat like horses??? or just a bunch of hungry animals...I drink my Shaklee protein shake, eat some yogurt, a banana and I'm good to go. My bottles are filled with water and Performance hydration drink, I've swallowed a handful of vitamins and I'm ready to ride! I see Kevin at camp and he offers to "lube" my bike for me, so I let him..I'll do anything to go faster and that seems to be a good idea because were riding at the coast and it gets a little salty and gritty around here!

We're ready for another exciting day of riding, and so we take off with a few other cyclists leaving camp, chatting about the day before and what happened in camp last night. Each morning we get a map of the days course and this day we go about 45 miles. Not exactly all flat, there were some good rollers and enough of them to wake your muscles up from the day before!
to be cont. gotta run!
