Day 6 - 90 miles from Lompoc to Ventura

(I'm cheating by blogging on the drive back up from LA...)

Day 6 brought us into true SoCal feel with palm trees, sweeping ocean views from Hwy 1 bike lanes and some beach bike trails!




Sadly, there were a handful of tacks and staples on the side of the road (what the heck??) and a handful of riders were unfortunate enough to get punctured.




Tire problems were quickly forgotten as we rolled into Santa Barbara and into Paradise Pit. This year marked the 13th year a local ice cream shop owner from Santa Barbara donates as much ice cream, toppings and baked goods as 2000 riders can consume! It was our inner fat children's dream!!!












The day ended in Ventura where we camped beachside and had a candlelight vigil at night.




Per tradition, some of us skipped the regular camp food for non-camp food, mmmmmmm...
