There was rain in the forecast but it ended up being a beautiful day. We are really enjoying the perfect California weather we have had. Much of the day was spent on the coast, traffic was light, bike lanes were wide, roads were fairly level, and it was a great day for riding. Today was spent going through Ventura and Oxnard making stops for pastries and coffee, fish, chips and sushi, and ice cream. Ed kept looking out at the Pacific Ocean and was "WOWed" that we have nearly completed his dream ride. We had a 50 mile day and ended at Leo Carrillo State Beach just North of Malibu and Los Angeles. A perfect ending to the day was spent sitting on the beach watching surfers, kayakers and divers enjoying the Southern California coast.
So glad you made it, rain-free. We actually got a good 30 minutes worth up here in Carpinteria and Santa Barbara. Did you get to see any dolphins or seals on your ride to Leo Carrillo? It was so wonderful to meet you both. We'll be thinking of you and following your journey for the homestretch.
