All inland today & not the most scenic. Trucks, dust & potholes through Santa Maria & Guadalupe. Much better follows through Michael Jackson wine country. Los Olivos is a must-stop fur a late lunch, and the Danish village of Solvang is a short side trip for some before our final destination in Buellton, famous for it's Anderson's Split Pea Soup.
We wanted clear and we got it, accompanied by a large dose of COLD (that's Divney's "I'm-too-cold-to-move" look)
Pretty much the view all the way to Santa Maria
I'm guessing there isn't a Guadalupe Chop Suey in Chicago
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Looking down at Firestone Vineyards after "The Wall"
Relaxing after a tough 57 miles to Los Olivos
This is where I turn right. Send a search party if I don't make it to Buellton
Vineyards and a wide variety of animals on Ballard Canyon
Heck, tons of people cycle from Canada to Mexico. Why not be the first to bike 1,550 miles for split pea soup?
I've always thought stakes are a waste of time. You almost never really need them and for those rare occasions when the wind is howling, something like as picnic table will do the trick.
I was pretty sure that today had the widest temperature variation in my 24 days of riding, but WHOA!!
