Ride 49 miles Pismo to Lompoc.
Camp at River Park RV Campground.
We're getting addicted to biking!!! We're definitely beyond loopy,
which makes our riding even more entertaining, singing songs and
giggling 49 miles from Pismo to Lompoc. Monarch butterflies were
certainly a highlight of the morning, and a nice women taught us all
about the fascinating creatures.
Some of us may have psyched ourselves out after rumors of a giant hill
(the "Biggest One Yet"), but it actually wasn't that bad. More
fields, more agriculture, more pesticides. We're really getting good
at this whole biking thing…although we found out later that night that
our talents don't necessarily transfer over to bowling.
Day 7: Saturday, November 25th, 2006
Ride 54 miles San Simeon to Pismo.
Camp at Pismo State North Beach.
Camp at Pismo State North Beach.
Frost in the morning??? We thought we were in sunny California! Oh
well, back on our bikes early in the morn to ride ~60 miles to Pismo
Beach State Park. We're getting good at this whole biking
business…seems like our legs and spirits are getting stronger every
day.
A nice day of rolling hills led us through the beautiful Morro Bay to
eat a big organic lunch at our good friend Rose's place. A few of us
spent the morning at a farm gleaning organic peppers and avocados from
a nice farmer we met at the farmer's market the day before. The
afternoon seemed surprisingly short with more rolling hills and time
to rest up and take a dip at Pismo Beach State Park.

Ride 38 miles Plaskett Creek to San Simeon.
Camp at Simeon State Park.
Camp at Simeon State Park.
Another beautiful 40 mile ride to San Simeon State Park, another day
of enormous up and downs, another day of encouraging each other to
push ourselves and do things we never thought was possible! Wow…isn't
this what we try to teach our student who come out to Catalina Island
and push their comfort zones?
Along the ride we got the opportunity to stop off at a waterfall (some
of us took a quick dip in the fridged water), and we ate lunch along
side the elephant seals at the beach. Not bad for a morning ride!
We got to the campsite early enough to stop buy the local farmers
market where we chatted, informed, and ended up leaving with boxes
full of local organic produce due to generous donations. Yummy!!!
Finally we got some much needed broccoli in our bellies. Big thank
you to the many many people who have supported this trip so far!!!
