Up early this morning - it was still dark but Rob said we had to be 'up and off by 8am at the very latest'. So we were. We said our farewells to Stanley and Barbara who are going back to work next week, and to young Matt who is cycling down to San Diego but much faster than us I suspect!
It was very chilly and quite foggy so we were wrapped up well with all our lights on. We stopped for a quick breakfast after 20 miles and then started on the 7 Devils Road - a 15 mile stretch with 7 hills of varying severity in between. I had to laugh at the various comments painted on the road at intervals along the way - see photo about not cheating if you push your bike!
We camped at another 'value for money' state park (Bullard's Beach), which, to Rob's delight, only cost $5 per person including hot showers!
He really knows how to treat a woman ha ha!
To celebrate, we rode into town (3 miles and back) and had the most delicious Mexican meal ever - and it was another bargain!
Being serious, to give Rob his due, he is doing a fantastic job in sorting out where we are going each day, navigating the route and finding (mostly good) campsites - not an easy task in a foreign country when we are cycling to somewhere different every day and the schedule is pretty tight. All quite a responsibility I know.
So, it's now 8.15pm, pitch black and I'm tucked into my duck down sleeping bag with socks on ( it's very chilly tonight). What more to life is there..........
