Day 10 87 km (54 miles) Point Mugu (Malibu) to Torrance (LA) Total 850 km (528 miles) Homestretch!  It was a bit of a shock to wake up in the cold after 4 nights of cushy hotel living.

Day 9 90 km (56 miles) Santa Barbara to Point Mugu (Malibu) Total 763 km (474 miles) Another beautiful day to ride.

Day 8 98 km (61 miles) Lompoc to Santa Barbara Total 673 km (418 miles) Merry Christmas! Another dry start, the best I gift I can ask for.

CA Bike Tour Day 6 – San Simeon to Pismo Beach

Day 6 88 km (55 miles) San Simeon to Pismo Beach Total 501 km (311 miles) The good news is that everything dried out! The bad news is that the rain hasn’t stopped.

Day 5 66 km (41 miles) Lucia (Big Sur) to San Simeon  Total 413 km (257 miles) Day 5, hump day.

CA Bike Tour Day 2- Half Moon Bay to Aptos

Day 2 100 km (62 miles) Half Moon Bay to Aptos (Santa Cruz) Total 168 km (104 miles) Unfortunately, I can hardly ever count on sleeping in while on vacation.
