This was the tale of two days. The first 23 miles were through more of the Big Sur. It is wild, remote, and stunning. Two massive climbs with the last ending at a spot in the road called Ragged Point. Then suddenly the hills became m7ch more gentle and over the last 20 miles there were long stretches of flat which I haven't seen there entire trip. After almost 4 weeks of hills I didn't realize how strong my legs have gotten. I was flying on the flat stretches much faster than I would have expected.
The second half of today's ride also went past the hearst castle and elephant seal rookery which was quite fascinating. Then an easy ride to tonight's campground. The last 3 campsites have been within 100 yards or less from the ocean so going to sleep to sound of crashing waves is pretty cool.
Today's ride: 43 miles (69 km)
Total: 1,364 miles (2,195 km)
