Breakfast opens each day at 4:00am for the Roadies and 5:00am for cyclists. The Paso Robles Mid State Fair grounds is our campground for Day 3, so breakfast indoors on Day 4. This is the line to get the gourmet (really) breakfast.
The cyclists line up at 6am to ride out. The Funky Monkeys, a team of over 90 had some riders behind Jan singing.
Depending on how early you line up to exit camp, you could wait 30-60 minutes to get on the road.
Sam is on Moto, the 32 team crew, volunteer on their motorcycles all week, to keep riders safe at dangerous road crossings. This is rest stop 1, where Jan found him for his brief break.
Tough but beautiful sunny climb up the Evil Twins as they are nick named.
I think they should call them the Tricky Triplets, because when you think you are done with the 1st one, there is a false flat before it’s done.
Valerie at the top of one of the Evil Twins.
Mike was the 1st of the team to the top.
After the 1/2 way to LA hill there is a long steep hill where riders are released 10 at a time for safety. That’s 200+ waves of riders.
Emilia, Larry & Taylor were all Roadies from our team on Sweep. They can boost riders too scared or unable, to make the 4-5 mile steep descent.
After the descent is a distance sign for another photo op.
Santa Maria, our 4th night of camping. Each truck carries 150 bags. Every participant has a truck letter and a number assigned to their bag. Tents are shared by 2 people.

Some folks don't want to wait in line at the 1/2 way point, top of the hill.
This is also a 1/2 way to LA marker.
Ike did both, top and bottom of the hill photo op.
The town of Cayucos has an amazing Brown Butter bakery.
David & Emilia, Roadie Sweeps, picked up dozens of cookies for the team.
Lots of riders also stop in Pismo Beach for Cinnamon buns or ice cream.
Rest Stop 3 is in a PG&E facility parking lot, that is gifted form PG&E to use for the day.

This is the top of a hill. The folks who live here draw a line in the street.
One side is Northern California and one side is Southern California. They cheer riders on all sides.
