55 miles, 2500' of elevation gain, temps 33 - 54 degrees, heavy fog most of he ride.
The best way to describe today's ride is FOG. We actually rolled out under clear blue skies and 33 degrees but within an hour, the ride was pretty much fogged in for the rest of the day. I did catch several glimpses of the Pacific Ocean when the fog was a little less dense and would assume that the views would have been quite impressive under clear skies. Nevertheless, the roads were good with light traffic.
We all pretty much felt lucky to have had so many clear days and hope to have a clearing trend as the heavy fog makes for chilly riding. We are once again housed in a beachfront hotel with the sound of crashing waves.
Patty, our chef, went down to the docks where the fishing boats arrive and bought this wonderful fresh fish. We had both cod and salmon cooked on a propane grill, with a mango chutney, fresh asparagus, salad and couscous. Birthday cake for dessert and we were able to eat in the breakfast room for warmth. The weather cleared and we all took a walk along the beach for a perfect ending.
Yankee game tonight and I'm rooming with a Yankee fan from New Jersey.
