Married With Bikes

Today we woke up adjacent to the ocean in a lush campground and relaxed this morning as the waves pounded into the shore. The sensation was only second best to the sunset last night which we enjoyed with some fellow cyclists while cherishing locally made organic hemp ale.

We are in big sur. The cliffs are steep and the water is tropical island blue. We've been mentally preparing for the climbs through this route, which have turned out to be far from challenging. The most diffifult aspect has been trying to communicate when the packs of motorcycles fly by.

Today is an easy 40 mile ride. We are in no hurry and that feels great. We'll have plenty of time to walk barefoot in the sand and put our toes in the water. Connecting with nature--something not to be missed.
