Well, its time. I'm ready as I'll ever be to take on this fantastic challenge of riding from San Francisco to Santa Monica! I'll be with over 200 other cyclists from all over the country sharing what we love to do! Ride our bikes!
The weather should be perfect and the company terrific! We'll be experiencing a new adventure each day, and I've compiled a short list of places for you that we'll be seeing along the way!
New friends, amazing scenery, photo opps, a collection of shops and eateries,....Big Sur..Seaside Pumpkin Farms, Pigeon Point Lighthouse, Bonny Doon Beach, boardwalks, fruit stands, Monterey and Cannery Row, Pacific Grove and 17 Mile Drive, Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park…with breathtaking views... This is the most beautiful section of coast in the world! The Bixby Bridge, built in 1932, California Condors soaring above the cliffs and sitting on rock ledges, Elephant Seals sleeping and pushing/shoving/fighting on the beach, Hearst Castle, Morro Bay, Pismo Dunes, Solvang Mission, shops and restaurants, surf beaches of Ventura County, Santa Barbara, Carpenteria, state parks, Malibu, and finally Gladstones! (a famous local eatery with occasional celebrity drop ins)...just to name a few!
