Day 6 - Almost to LA!!!

Today was (in my opinion) the most beautiful day of the ride. We had sweeping views of the beach as we headed south on 101 from Lompoc, through Santa Barbara and into Ventura. Captain's log? 84.4 miles.

Squirrel! It's so hard to think about a sore bum when there are so many distractions to keep us smiling :)

Rest stop 2... Doesn't this make you want to join us next year? Say yes.

(It's Day 6... delirium is setting in.)





Santa Barbara's (unofficial) Paradise Pit stop... A local ice cream store in Santa Barbara has made it a tradition to serve ice cream, fruit and baked goods every year as we pass through town. Gotta admit, we were a little bit giddy.

See what I mean?

Rest stop 4, a beach party with a Thunderdome theme. Of course!

They didn't even notice the camera.... Nom nom nom ;)
Can't wait for a flushing toilet. See some of you tomorrow!
