Today's route went from Kirk Creek to Ocean Dunes. After leaving camp at the crack of dawn my first objective was to find a breakfast place. Thirty miles down the road I did. The morning rides are cool, and the coast is covered under a heavy layer of fog. Soon my rainjacket is soaking wet and my glasses are covered with a fine mist and have to come off! At the breakfast place I talked Blue Planet Run and Ride with the locals and other guests, and the hearty breakfast and friendly conversations warmed me up for the rest of the morning. Back in the saddle the miles are clicking away towards San Luis Obispo. More inland the weather turned hot, and in the middle of an uphill, at the heat of the day my first "flat" reared it's ugly head. Fortunately it was the front tire, so I did not have to take all my gear off the bike. Eleven miles later another flat, this time the rear tire! After the repair it was time to put the pedal to the metal, because the sun would soon set. I got the last spot on another hiker biker campground, the price was right,"free," but overcrowded, noisy and close to the waste diposal site! Another hundred plus miles was behind me, and despite the noise, I slept like a log!
