We crossed over our highest point so far today. I think we reached a
whopping 1000+ feet. Dosent sound like a whole lot but it was our 2nd
no 3rd big climb of the day. We made the mistake of thinking we were
smarter than the map and took a short cut to hell. Seriously this hill
was no joke. Think miramar (sc folks) on steroids. It was long and
steep and it wins the toughest short climb award so far. The other two
climbs of the day were just long and long. Takes a long time to do a 5
mile climb when you are going 4ish miles an hour. It was another 60ish
mile day, we made the push so we could have an easier day into Santa
barbara. In SB awaits our first shower and a hot tub courtesy of a
long time friend of joy's, Britt and family. We are in a closed
campground tonight but they let bikers stay here anyway which is good
cause we were not going any further. There is snow capped mtns and
it's about 40 here by the ocean. Have we mentioned that we've heard
the waves chrashing every night. We are two lucky guys on bikes. Night!
P.S. The pic below is heading into the big sur area.
