Day 1 in the bag

So, 90 miles done, seemingly in a blink of an eye...it's so beautiful on the Pacific Coast Highway you don't notice the time ticking by or the miles racking up. But this morning we set off from Goodby, Silverstein and Partners - check out the SF hill it sits on...

- and headed out through Chinatown, under the Golden Gate, and around the Bay headlands until Highway 1 opened out to greet us. Then we rolled 55 miles to our lunch stop at Pescadero, where the country store sold wood fired pizzas cooked to order, and then it was onwards, past eucalyptus and pine, strawberry and artichoke field, until we cruised into Santa Cruz at about 6pm, to a beer from the back of our truck. Tomorrow we are off through Carmel and Monterey to Big Sur. Cannot wait.
