Day 6 - Lompoc to Ventura (88 miles)

Day 6 is the prettiest day of the entire ride.  We spent most of the ride on the shoulder of US-101, which was a bit precarious but the sweeping views of the Santa Barbara coast kept us smiling.

Joel and Chris on the bike path along U.S.-101 with their birthday party hats on in celebration of Chris' 33rd Birthday today!

Rest Stop 3 in Santa Barbara was a "Paradise Pit" complete with free ice cream donated from a local Santa Barbara ice cream shop!

Always a hoot, Rest Stop 4 had an "American Gladiators" themed stage and impromptu dance party on the beach!

Finally found Stuart today, he's so fast!

Roadies drive our gear and tents from camp site to camp site.  The logistics on the ride continue to impress us!

Tonight ended with a beach candlelight vigil to remember the loved ones who have been lost to AIDS.

Tomorrow....LA!
