Hi Y'all!
I am now in Monterey, California! The weather is beautiful, the town is lovely, the scenery spectacular and we had a wonderful lunch overlooking the water!
All that and an easy 46 mile ride from Santa Cruz. We wheeled through the Salinas Valley where we saw fields of strawberries and artichokes!?? - migrant workers picking the strawberries, produce stands,
back roads - a great bike ride! And then on to a bike path to get into Monterey - and we arrived in time for lunch, checking into the hotel, a walk around the town, laundry and dinner.
All in all, a very good day!
Yesterday was a decent ride but it was an 84 mile ride!!! The hills were not too bad, and the weather was warm and sunny, but we didn't get lunch until almost 3pm - 70 miles into the trip!! I was starving!!
Oh, and I had my first (and hopefully last!) flat tire. Thank goodness, Katie & Sheila were with me -
Katie pretty much changed the tire with Sheila helping and me doing whatever I could. Fortunately that happened just a few miles out of Santa Cruz, so we rode in and found a bike shop where they looked over the tire and I bought a couple of new tires and I am ready for the next few days!
