After a nice buffet breakfast. We left Fisherman's Wharf at 8:15. It was very slow leaving the city, cold, foggy, and misting for the first 35 miles. It was 54 degrees and I was soaked.
There were many picture spots and very scenic vistas which made the long distance very enjoyable.
Arrived in Santa Cruz at 4:30pm. Total ride tide was 6 hours:50 minutes, average speed=13.5 MPH, total ascent=4380 feet, 4296 Calories spent. Oh, and by the way, I fell once when my chain slipped off the chainring (now I know why they call it "chain suck") while going up hill. I was turning the pedal as fast as I could, but was going nowhere except off the road, down an embankment. Not a major fall, just a mild road rash and a shirt full of burrs.
Made it to the final checkpoint.
