We rode mostly along the coast highway – some on the freeway shoulder and a lot of bike paths. The sky was overcast for most of the day. Mild headwinds all day, everyone said they never have a headwind on this part of the coast – how lucky for us!. Keri and I rode the first part of the day on Sigmund’s wheel – going 19 mph helped the freeway part go by much faster. After the checkpoint, we had a small hill climb up to Del Mar where we had lunch. A mile and a half climb was next, and then we threaded our way through the neighborhoods of La Jolla and San Diego. Finally we rode on a bike path along the ocean to our camping spot for the night. The area was beautiful with the water and boats, but our camping site was mostly dirt and very crowded.
Randy cooked for us again some fine trough and had his motorcycle blender mixing up the margaritas for the second night, we’ll miss him.
