The first stint of our day lasted for a whole 3 miles. At Cambria we pulled off hwy 1 and stopped for coffee..., and carrot cake. Decadent at only 9am but it was tasty and all because jean remembered a few nights earlier I had said I liked it.
The day continued in the same vain as so many have - hwy 1, beautiful views and stunning sunshine. Jean taught me the hand signal used by Harley Davidson riders. I then spent the rest of the day trying to get them to reciprocate my greeting - it was a shame I hadn't mastered what was and wasn't a Harley.
At Morro Bay we headed towards the state park, stopping for clam chowder and fish and chips on the way. Having passed through the park we turned off South Bay Blvd onto Turri Road. With the sun beating down onto us we pedalled through arid hills without a car in sight - it felt again like we were in the middle of nowhere. From Turri Road, we turned onto Los Osos Valley Road, until meeting Foothill Road which took us into San Luis Obispo (SLO).
Pedalling into downtown SLO we found the visitor centre and a bike shop. An hour later Jean carried on to Pismo Beach and we checked into a motel. The icing on the cake - Tim too me to see Sex and the City - he even laughed throughout it.
