66 miles, 4500' of elevation gain, temp range of 55-59 degrees with fog all day.
The ride came out of the park and immediately went up. Clear skies at the park quickly gave way to fog sometimes quite thick and making it difficult to see more than 25 feet in front of where we were riding. Tough first climb was the prelude to a day of climbing with very few views. The road became less hilly after the first 50 miles so we could make good time for the last hour of riding. We were treated to a great sighting of Elephant Seals sunning themselves within 15' of the road. Impossible to take a tour at the Hearst Castle as the tours are booked months in advance. Most of us rode straight to the hotel and relaxed for the couple of hours we had before a wonderful meal by Michelle.
