Day Thirty Five - A Sunny Sunday Ride

Day Thirty Five – A Sunny Sunday Ride

Limekilm to San Simeon

Daily Brief

Usually we like to rest on Sunday but due to a shorter day yesterday then expected we had to turn out a few miles today.

The Ride

We awoke in Limekilm, well, those of us who camped. We ate breakfast then went to the small beach front. It was cloudy but not too cool. After a bit we ate lunch taking naps in between all the before mentioned activities, or at least pretty often. Finally Faith and Shaun arrived and we packed up camp and hopped on our bikes. The first part of the ride had some pretty steep uphill climbs, and we took it fairly slow. After we got over the climbs we made it to rolling hills with the wind to our backs. We probably averaged 24 MPH on the last 20 miles coming into San Simeon. After arriving we found a place to stay and cleaned up, got in the hot tub and ate dinner. Chanlder, Parry and Chris went down to check the beach out. It was a rocky beach with sand to suit. A couple of brave surfers went out to hit some waves. We thought they were nuts because of all the rocks in the water. After that everyone just relaxed some more, made a few phone calls and went to sleep. Everyone was snoring after a few minutes, and I can attest to that personally.
