Quite a hilly day today. We starting climbing right out of the chute with Legget hill. That topped out at around 570 meters. Then we had about a 20 k descent. It was twisting and turning descent that was very nice, but visibility was limited due to the shadows. We stopped for coffee at the end of the descent and at the beginning of the next climb. Between the two climbs we had a pretty hilly day. But at the end of the second climb we had the coastline. Below is a picture of David at our first ocean view.

As we rode along we hand some very nice scenery. This is classic California coastline. Very rugged and very beautiful. And the weather was just perfect – lots of sunshine with just a touch of fog.

We had lunch at a beautiful spot for lunch at about the 55 k mark. After that it started to get a lot busier with the traffic around Fort Brag.
