Day 2 - Santa Cruz to Monterey/Pacific Grove - 54 Miles

Left Santa Cruz "in the misty morning fog", cycled through Eucalyptus groves, over lazy rivers, and miles-and-miles of farmland.



Now I know where artichokes come from. Rode into Monterey on a class I bike path from about 20 miles north, with beautiful coastline views.


Arrived at the final check point in Pacific Grove at 12:30. 54 miles, 4 hours ride time, average speed 13.7 MPH, 1821 feet total ascent, 2462 Calories (that should cover my brownie-a-la-mode).

We enjoyed the afternoon in Monterey, taking in the sights and visiting the aquarium.
