84 miles, 2800' of elevation gain, temp range 33 degrees to 75 degrees with morning fog followed by glorious sunshine.
It was our longest day so far but not as hilly. It started out relatively flat but the fog was quite heavy and it was cold. Visibility was not great but we had wonderful shoulders along the entire ride. I think Woman Tours must have arranged for street sweepers as they were that clean.
Most of the ride was along rivers, sloughs and now we are at a beach side hotel having a great time. Most of us are tired but the warm sunshine is definitely lifting everyone's energy level. I imagine we will be leaving our windows open so we can listen to the pounding surf all night. Well, they do call it the Pacific Coast ride for a reason.
Traffic has been relatively light as it is well past tourist season and a good choice of dates. So if your not here why not?
Clean shoulders? And no pictures of such? Oh well, I will have to be content with your word that somewhere the world such a thing actually exists.
