A+ Day

Today was lovely. Not too hot. Not too cold. Nice roads. Sun, but not too much sun, and so forth.

I dragged myself out of bed and to the hotel breakfast, which didn't exist actually, but instead they gave me a coupon for $5 off at a great little diner down the street. I prefer that actually. Most hotel breakfasts are pretty bad, at least at the hotels I tend to stay in on a bike trip.

So anyway I meandered over the the diner and got an awesome breakfast of what has officially become my favorite touring breakfast, at least in America--French Toast, Eggs, bacon and coffee. The breakfast of champions for sure and one that can only be enjoyed when you ride a bike for 8 hours because if I didn't the bike would eventually collapse from the weight of all of those calories.

But I'm getting off topic...

The ride was great. I rolled out of Paso Robles feeling fine. The road to the coast has some traffic but also a humongously wide shoulder that could have been turned into a second lane. I had a head wind but didn't even care.

From there I took a short cut on a wonderful back road that put me on the coast at Cayucos and a short ride to Morro Bay marina where they had a little fish and chips stand and where I had just about the best fish tacos I ever had, and I have had a LOT of fish tacos in my time. And I mean a LOT!

After that it was sun and tail winds all the way to Avila Beach and a friend who will host me for a couple of days, if she can put up with me that long.

Nice scene to add to the fish taco bliss

Today's ride: 50 miles (80 km)
Total: 260 miles (418 km)
