What a fantastic day today for cycling. Great temperature, sun and blue skies all day. And no head wind!
Ok we had a 3 mile hill to climb at the start which warmed us up for the rest of the day's ride on US1 which followed the coast very closely with great views all the way. Yes there was quite a bit of traffic but mostly cars driving sensibly so no near misses or scary moments.
There was some debate with some fellow cyclists en-route about where to camp as the private site was full and Kirk Creek State Park reputedly had pit toilets, no showers and no water either. However, we stopped to ask the park attendant as the site location was fantastic - best ever - right by the sea and we really wanted to stay there. Fortunately the attendant said we could buy water for $5 a pitcher. Great!
We pitched our tent, I scrambled down the cliff to the sea with the help of a fixed rope and for the first time on this holiday paddled in the waves! Great feeling!
Am now sitting by the tent looking out at the setting sun on the horizon and typing up this blog! Not a bad life!
