Day 6 began on one of the prettiest roads on the entire route. We pedaled through vast expansive ranchlands with wildflower-covered hills on both sides! As we rode toward the coast through the gorgeous Gaviota Pass, we ended up on US101. Yikes. Time to pedal faster to get to the lunch break. After lunch, we passed into the heart of Psych-land, for those of us who are Psych fans - Santa Barbara, then through Montecito and Carpinteria, and on into Ventura, where we camped at San Buenaventura State Beach. Highlight of the day: Had great dolphin sightings, but iPhone couldn't take good photos. Almost like Kauai when John and I saw dolphins.
Here are the great pictures.
This was Paradise Pit. I had two servings of ice cream and all the toppings including cookies and brownies.
Of all times to break down in tears, it was this stop. Rod Lathim has been hosting this great stop for 15 years to continue supporting AIDS/LifeCycle after he stopped cycling for AIDS/LifeCycle. When I thanked him for his continues support, he asked me how many times I've cycled and how I was doing. I couldn't answer and all he could do was hug me through my tears. So thee you have it. A video is on Facebook and will be included when I get back to a computer.
