Day 6 is probably my favorite day. I love the route and if the weather holds up it’s just gorgeous. I finished at 12:30 and was rider #5. I started the day early and climbed to the top of the coastal mountains and then a screaming descent to Gaviota Beach. We had to assemble at Rest Stop 2 while we waited for caltrans to cone off a bridge. Every year we do this and every year the people in charge of this rest stop don’t have a plan for releasing riders until I ask them what it is. Ugh. I got a some pics from the rest stop:
Gordon and David:
We were moving before long and continued our route. We had a new way of coming into lunch this year which I liked quite a bit better than the old route. I kept moving and stopped at Rest Stop 3 in Santa Barbara. Which was gorgeous:
I got into camp and we went and checked into the hotel room and then headed out for lunch. The place I wanted to go to had closed, but we at at Dukes which makes a solid vegetarian burrito. Here we are:
Then we headed back to camp and hung out on the beach:
I went to bed early and sent Jim went to the candlelight vigil. I couldn’t stay up for it. I was beat.
