Day 2 done and dusted

It was a long old trek! Another 90 miles and I got my FIRST EVER firefly puncture. Hopefully thats it, no more...

We rolled through artichoke fields today, climbed over the bluffs and up and down the dune side/railroad hugging bike trail through Monterey. We avoided adding extra mileage with a jaunt round 17 mile Drive/Pebble Beach, lovely as I know it is...

Then out on to Carmel, for lunch at 60 odd miles. Rich grannies, Saturday busy, but great all the same. Followed by the most beautiful stretch of 26 mile coastline through into Big Sur.

Having driven it before, I stopped at almost every bend with my ride buddies Jeff and Ed, for tons of photos, which will follow! An amazing ride, which we capped off a couple of miles early with a well earned pint at the Big Sur River Inn. Everyone thought we were last in when we rolled up to the Big Sur Lodge... :)

Cabins awaited and we dressed for a big group dinner, no ladies in scrubby leisurewear for us!
