Day #17: Lucia to Ragged Point (25 mi)

Posted byalissa

Alissa: Today we rode through both of the road closure areas, which, thankfully, had opened!

Yikes! Glad these didn’t fall on us!
The covered up bit says “Hwy 1 closed 8 miles ahead”

We had more lovely views along the coast,

and the views to our left looked mostly like this:

During our lunch stop at the Whale Watchers Cafe, I, suitably, saw the spout of a whale! And, we encountered fellow cyclists also riding down the coast!

Rhys and Adam (the two young guys) left Seattle around the same time we left Arcata and are heading into Mexico. They ride MANY more miles daily than we do. David (green jacket) was on his way from a workshop at the Esalen Institute to Ventura. And that guy behind me was on a day ride (whom we didn’t run into at lunch) and so we didn’t learn his name.

Post lunch, Glen and I made unexpected discoveries. First, I found Freddy! I didn’t even know I had been looking for him.

Then Glen found that elusive California reflector rock!
