Day-4 Paso Robles to Santa Maria

Three days ago we left Cow Palace to begin our seven day odyssey to LA.  Yes, it was my intension to blog every day but it has taken me until Day-4 to get this together.  We were up at dawn, dressed and packed up our gear and tents and schleped them to the gear trucks.  I was the only PG&Eer at today's 6am yoga session that is taylored just for cyclists.  We had a quick breakfast, filled up our water bottles and got on our bikes knowing that today's highlights are The Evil Twins and the Half Way to LA panoramic photo op.  I made it up both Evil Twins the way I always do; I walked my bike up the hills.  I was 600 feet below the Half Way to LA scenic viewing spot when Diane Runyan, retired ISTS, and her sister, Lita, picked me and my bike up in their Sweeping Beauty van and drove me the steep 600 feet up to the Half Way goal.  I then loved the very fast down hill to pit stop 2 where there soon after, I got sagged to tonight's camp in beautiful Santa Maria.  Most of our Power Pedalers are good cyclists and are completing all of today's  97 miles upon their bikes.  As it is not even four-thirty yet, I will not start seeing them in camp for another hour; the route closes at 7pm.  Another highlight of today's route is fresh baked cinnamon rolls in Pismo Beach, I trust that some of our good cyclists did partake of the local, less-than-cinnabon, delicacies.  (My tent neighbor said they were not as good as cinnabon.)  Tomorrow is Red Dress Day.  I gave Ben Ko his Sexy Ladybug costume and I will determine who gets to wear the other one I brought.  For myself, I have a simple red sun dress i bought at Wallgreens near the GO.  I will blog again with pictures tomorrow, now that I think I know how to set my camera correctly.  Now I'm going to hit the shower trailers and meet back up with the team.
