Day 4: Hurray! Monterey!


Ride 63 miles Capitola to Andrew Molera
Camp at Andrew Molera Campsite



Whooo!!! Big day of riding! Little bike computers clocked us in at
over 70 miles to get to Andrew
Molera Campsite at the Northern end of
Big
Sur.

The morning led us on bike paths through rolling hills of colorful
foliage, leaving some of us reminiscent of East Coast autumn leaves.
We also rode through agricultural fields, getting up close and
personal with the pesticide sprayed crops. We could smell and taste
the chemicals. Can you imagine what that must be like for the farm
workers? Wow! Even our photographer Dan got a mouthful of chemicals
when trying to get some shots of the monoculture. The afternoon
consisted of more
bustin' up big hills until a spectacular sunset that
brought us into our campsite.
