Day 20: Santa Cruz, CA to Monterey, CA

9/29/2013

Circling Monterey Bay, I'll be cycling through Capitola, Aptos and the strawberry fields of Watsonville. At 48 miles, I'll have an opportunity to enjoy a relaxing lunch on Cannery Row in Monterey before climbing the hill to our campsite at Veteran's Memorial Park.

Glorious morning, I think (no glasses and no mirror so I can put in my contacts)

Team Links for Life, looking good!

I passed these stiffs

Annual coffee stop in Aptos

Visions of the Beatles hit, Strawberry Fields Forever

...and their less popular follow-up, Artichoke Fields Forever

Moss Landing

Coming into Monterey

Just shoot me now

Nice job beating the van up the hill, Derek

If there's a Central Coast blackout tonight, you'll know why

I was thinking about you and your mom as we spun through Aptos. Miss not having you here!

Many interesting places on the way

On August 14, 2013, I'm flying to Vancouver, British Columbia and beginning a 29-day, 1,880-mile bike ride from Canada to Mexico.

On this page you'll find random ramblings before, during, and after my trek down the Pacific Coast. Prior to BikeTheCoast13, I'll blog about my prep, training, and thoughts from the road.
While visiting my blog, I hope you'll offer comments, suggests, and words of encouragement. I'm going to need all the help I can get!

For those who don't know me or my inspiration, please take a moment to check out the Why Now? tab to meet my daughter Lindsey and find out how I got here.

If this site helps or inspires you in any way, I hope you'll consider making a small donation to the cause.

If you'd like to contact me personally, you can email me at [email protected]
