Day Four

So this was our "easy" 80 mile day. We started off a little after 8am from the bed and breakfast place. The proprietor fixed us a wonderful breakfast of eggs and pancakes and then sent us on our way.

Then it was off into the fog where we needed windshield wipers for our glasses. We stopped in Cayucos for some Gatorade since I likely didn't hydrate properly yesterday. We blew through Morro Bay (but we kept our speed down so we wouldn't get pulled over again). Also we decided to ride through a road closed sign - only to end up on a dirt road and ran into workers replacing some culverts. We ended up getting filthy. Then it was on to San Luis Obispo where we providently ended up at a bike shop.

The salesman ended up selling us some good tasting nutrition food and pointed us to a great pizza place where got a great slice of pizza and a raspberry salad.

The sun came out while we ate lunch. Then it was back to the coast where we struggled with a head wind for most of the rest of the day. We headed off the marked trail to Santa Maria since there were few if any hotels along the coast.
