October 21st

I had to look it up - we are in Arroyo Grande today.
It was a fantastic ride - we had to go on the highway at the beginning, but with six foot wide shoulders and very little traffic, it was not a big deal.
First stop - coffee in Morrow Bay - best latte I've had so far on this trip!
Next stop, San Luis Obispo for lunch.  The town was charming and full of people - we had a great lunch on an outdoor terrace - wonderful!!
Only 12 miles to go, so we hopped on our bikes and headed down the road.  Hmmm... an ambulance.
Turn the corner, there it is - along with a fire truck and a police car.
Oh - bikes and neon jackets just like ours... what a horrible, horrible feeling.  I got there just in time to see them load her into the ambulance.
One of the ladies fell - skidded on some gravel with a flat tire and fell, hitting her jaw on a concrete
construction barrier that was on the side of the row - she couldn't get her feet out of the pedals in time to catch herself.
She is back with us, but needs to see an oral surgeon asap so she is trying to get back to Milwaukee.
Poor lady - she is a funny, interesting 68 year old woman.
And only two days left in the trip.
Earlier on another woman went home.  She went out for a walk after dinner, fell and broke her shoulder..
Will be extra careful for the next two days...

56.7 miles today.
