Day 7 - Ventura to Los Angeles (62 miles)

Today we biked from Ventura, through Malibu and into Los Angeles!  Most of the route was on the CA-1 Pacific Coast Highway where surfers and beach goers were mixed amongst friends, family and well-wishers cheering us along our coastal bike path.  Every PG&E Power Pedaler made every mile of the 545 mile trek and when we arrived at the Closing Ceremonies near Santa Monica, you could feel the pride beaming from every pedaler.  We did it!!!!  Team high five!


A long line at Rest Stop 1, eager to head into LA and cross the finish line.

Bike accident along the PCH where Lori, Joel and Chris helped direct traffic and call for emergency personnel to assist.  

Team meeting place just 5 miles outside the finish line!

Chris and his proud parents at the finish line

Some members of the PG&E team waiting to ship their tired bikes back to the Bay Area!

Chicken Lady (a 20 year veteran and a celebrity on the ride) photo-bombing the team at the finish line

We found Tim, sporting the PG&E Power of Blue jersey, and John Tran!

Tired riders heading to the exit after Closing Ceremonies.  Chris thinks he'll pack less next time. ;)

One of the end-of-ride meals... Yes, please do add an egg and onion rings and short ribs and bacon to that burger. We earned it.

Until next time!  Thank you for all the support and donations, we couldn't have done it without you.
