Today’s ride was Monterey to Big Sur, and then Big Sur to Lucia. This has been the most visually stunning day yet, as cliffs climb and fall along the crashing shore. On the main stretch, biking is constant ascent and descent in perfect proportion. Big Sur holds giant redwoods and gorgeous views. Lucia is a tiny town with nothing but a name and an inn.

Breakfast at the Wild Plum Bakery in Monterey was Oatmeal, Strawberries, a chocolate muffin, and coffee. Lunch in Big Sur was half a turkey sandwich, and a piece of chocolate cake. Dinner was eggplant parmesan on pasta. Of course, energy bars along the way. (Odwalla Superprotein at Point Lobos and trail mix in Lucia) Now for some pictures…

This was my day…all coast like this.

Thats what I call wheelin’ country.

More gorgeous bluffs.
